”Kan konturerna bli för tydliga?”
– I tried RGP lenses at St. Erik Eye Hospital after my surgery in 2010. At that time I gave up pretty quickly because it felt like I had gravel in my eyes, and I saw more than enough with my spectacles. I could only wear the lenses for a couple of minutes and I didn’t think it was worth continuing the struggle.
In retrospect I have realised how poor my vision is without correction and how much detail I can see now.

David suffered from vision problems during high school and was diagnosed with keratoconus. David’s younger brother, uncle and cousin have the same condition.
He has undergone cross-linking surgery on the right eye and has Intacs on the left eye, but also uses spectacles or contact lenses.

A year ago I tried scleral lenses but could not get it to work with that particular brand. I could insert the lenses, but when I was trying to remove them, there was a ’suction cup effect’. It felt as if the eye was coming out with the lens, causing severe pain.
But then I got the opportunity to use OneFit and now everything works perfectly. I can wear them for 14-16 hours without a problem – and insert and remove them without trouble.
I have coped well without correction in everyday life, and with glasses I have reached 0.5-0.6 depending on the day.
With lenses I get at least 0.9. In retrospect I have realised how bad I see without correction and how much detail I can see now. I even asked my optometrist if contours can become too clear...
