Rose-K and RGP Lenses Weston FL
RGP and Rose-K contact lenses are ideal for people with keratoconus. This progressive disease of the eye causes the cornea to become thinner over time. As this happens, the cornea will lose its round shape and instead bulge into more of a cone shape, leading to distorted or blurry vision.
In early keratoconus, soft contact lenses or standard eyeglasses are usually enough to provide clear vision. However, as the corneal shape continues to change, the eye loses its ability to focus light correctly. When cornea irregularities are pronounced, soft lenses and eyeglasses are no longer able to compensate and cannot adequately correct the vision. That means that once keratoconus has progressed beyond the earlier stages, it will require a different type of treatment.
