Merged Keratoconus thread

[Gerald_83]

Allow me to quote another eye specialist that I had contacted recently,

"Dear Gerald,

I personally would not advise a pilot’s licence for anyone with keratoconus. RGPs are unstable in the eye and spectacles will not provide adequate vision, so this will be a safety factor. I doubt anyone will certify a pilot who has keratoconus, even an individual who has mild, stable disease. If your condition requires RGPs, this means spectacles do not provide adequate good vision and your keratoconus could be considered as moderate rather than mild. Most will refer to mild keratoconus as individuals who can see perfectly well with spectacles or soft contact lenses, and do not require RGPs.

Please note that this opinion has no medical foundation, as I have not had the opportunity to examine you."

He has done some research on keratoconus and intacs. Just wondering how i should proceed. Cos i have apparently heard of pilots wearing RPG lens... any suggestions?
