So I was out on my daily walk using my usual route as I can generally avoid people for the most part which is great with the need for social distancing thanks the the covid-19 situation. During said walk I start to sweat particularly above my eyes which makes it into my eye causing discomfort.

I try to be careful to dab the sweat away from my eyes but unfortunately I cause my right contact to dislodge and slip into my eye causing great discomfort. Thankfully I was 3 blocks away from a Casey’s General Store and they kept their restrooms open.

While trying to manually move my right contact back in place my left contact spontaneously pops itself out which isn’t surprising giving the fit isn’t exactly stable thanks to being an edge case of being able to use an RGP in the left in the first place. I grab my baggy i keep my emergency contact lense case and a plunger in for just such emergencies and place my left contact in it as i don’t trust the room to be sanitary enough to reinsert. I continue to attempt to fix my right contact but it too ends up popping out.

This is the first time I actually needed my emergency kit since i started with these contacts but this situation pretty much convinces me without doubt that perhaps it is time for me to move on to something better such as hybrid contacts or sclerals. I plan on making the change after I sufficiently recover from my cataract surgery.

For the past week I have been experiencing really weird behavior with my RGP contacts. One day I would be able to wear them all day and the next I can’t seem to tolerate having them in longer then 3 hours. The day after I again can wear the RGP contacts all day.

This issue is only to my Right eye and I have been noticing while still working good the contacts dont seem to work quite as effective as they were but at the same time the difference was marginal. Overall with how the right contact is behaving i am suspecting that my keratoconus in my right eye might be progressing a little.

The past winter was a pretty bad time for me in terms of dryness as well. I am in just under a month undergoing cataract surgery and I think it may be time to move on to Hybrid or scleral contacts this should alleviate the issues i have been having.

I also plan on getting the right eye checked out to see if my right eye is indeed progressing and if so if my doctor would still recommend undergoing collagen cross linking on my right eye.

Just got the call from Wolfe Eye Clinic informing me that they are ready to reschedule me for Cataract surgery.

The Surgery has been scheduled for June 22 at 10 am. I am pleased that things are finally going forward and things are starting to become more normal.

I will also be getting tested for Covid-19 and have to self quarantine 10 days prior to surgery but its a small price to pay for the safety of myself and others involved with this surgery.

Finally get to make progress of my eye situation and hope this will improve things dramatically.
