Recently i had acute hydrops, after which I began to wear RGPM lenses.

The hydrops resolved fine, and wearing was comfortable for a few months,
but recently I began to experience problems regarding the lens.

I experience a burning sensation when reading books, focusing on smaller
details, but is most severe while using the monitors. It doesnt make a
difference if I use a CRT or LCD. Watching the TV from a distance is
surprisingly without problems.
Using the rewetting drops - alcon optifree and allergan refresh
contacts, seems to alleviate the problem for a very brief period, but
after prolonged wear, it does not seem to help at all.

All suggestions are welcome.

James,

I had KC for 10 years before transplants.  Now, 10 years later, I have KC
again.
I tried many types of lenses the first time and had problems like you
describe.

This time I was fitted with "piggyback" lenses.  I wear 14 mm soft lenses
then
7 mm hard lenses on top of them.  The materials from each lens has great
oxygen permeability.

This lens arrangement is MUCH more comfortable than the rigid lenses alone.

My $0.02 worth...
