Diagnosed in 1989, worn a hard contact lens ever since.
Recently suffered eye pain which is acute hydrops, very conical cornea and told not to wear hard lens for fear of further damage to the eye.
Only option now is a corneal graft. Not sure if anyone either flying or contolling has needed this radical treatment.
Has anyone re-gained their licence following this.
My advice is to wear glasses or soft lens for as long as possible and trust in an opticial with considerable experience in this field.
