What is the best contact lens for keratoconus?
There is no single lens type or brand that works for every keratoconus patient. In the early stages, conventional soft lenses can work remarkably well. As keratoconus progresses, rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses work best for the majority of patients. Unfortunately, contact lenses alone may not completely correct your vision. For some patients, spectacles worn over contact lenses or special lens designs may help. In some cases, corneal scarring or other problems may limit vision, and no amount of correction will be completely effective.
