Daughter rigid lenses making her eyes sting

[stirrupleathers]

Hello, can anyone help. My daughter has to wear rigid (RGP) lenses daily due to a sight impairment. She's finding that they are making her eyes sting quite badly lately. She's had her consultant look at them and apart from the odd dry patch they can't see anything wrong.
Is there anyone on here that can give me some advice? Stes 17 , at college and taking a lot of time off recently so we can rest her eyes , go to the hospital etc... HELP

Are they properly clean? When I used to wear gas permeable after a few weeks they stung if they weren’t protein cleaned. Similarly I now wear OrthoK overnight and I can always tell when they need a deep clean.

Not sure if that’s appropriate for the lenses your daughter has (some have coatings you must not use strong cleaners on) but may be worth asking the consultant.

My son has keratoconus and has to wear rgp lenses. However they are too uncomfortable on their own so he piggy backs them He has soft lenses and then wears the RGP on top of the soft lenses.

No idea if that would help you DD.

Other things check the lotion she is using, agree about soaking them to clear off the protein. Maybe change the lotion to another one and see if that helps.

I would use a cleaner and a soaking solution and not the 2in 1

Good point re solutions. I use oté clean and then rinse and store in Biotrue which allegedly does cleaning as well but my optician recommended separate cleaner. For protein removal I use progent every time I finish a bottle of Biotrue

Is the edge intact?

Is it for kerataconus? If so, there are other options if she’s become intolerant.

you need to go back and see the specialist.
