Best goal for you is Rose K2 lens. This is a special RGP lens for keratoconus. I have these lenses for my patients with great success. "We source from Boston, United Kingdom. Details can be found on www.roseklens.com.

It depends on your prescription, the curvature of your eye, the best corrected vision, and the amount of astimatism. We have many mild KC patients who successfully wear soft toric contact lenses after crosslinking or crosslinking with INTACS, such as Proclear XR. However they have a cornea curvature under 54, less than 4 diopters of astigmatism. Patients with moderate KC ususally do best in either a piggyback system (soft lens with RGP lens on top) or hybrid (Synergeyes). Typically we use either a Dyna Z Intra Limbal lens or a Rose KC2 for moderate to severe KC patients. The biggest factor is finding an optometrist who fits KC patients often (every week). In our office our optometrist fits 3-6 patients a day. Average cost for 6 months of care with contacts lenses range from $1600 - $2400.
