I am 36 years old with keratoconus in both eyes. My first symptoms appeared in 1998. I visited few doctors then who advised me to wait until my keratoconus became stable and then to have special (hard) contact lenses in order to correct my vision. So I decided to visit a doctor in 2003 and I was fitted with rigid gas permeable contact lenses that of course improved my vision. Since then I had problems like not be able to wear them many hours and my eyes were very sensitive to strong lights that continued for 5 years.
So I started looking again my options regarding my problem. A friend of mine recommended an optometrist in Larnaca (Constantinos Kallias) who specializes in fitting contact lenses to people with keratoconus.
To be outspoken I was not expecting much. After my first visit he asked me to remove my contact lenses for two weeks to allow my corneas to return to their original shape. I was fitted with RGP lenses that felt really comfortable throughout the day and I could see very clear. Since then, 6 years later, I’m a very happy man! He did a fantastic job and I would strongly recommend him! I believe he is the best CL practitioner in Cyprus as far as concerning keratoconus.
