Contact Lenses for Severe Dry Eye

Time for new contact lenses.  I've been corresponding with the Boston
Foundation for Sight re: their Scleral Prosthetic Lens, but ... it's a
pretty radical (and expensive!) step.

I've been wearing (full atropinised wavefront Rx) scl's (actually
don't know which brand) for quite a while, but the dry eye is getting
intolerable.

I'm wondering whether anybody thinks I might have better luck with
another stab at RGP's (which I wore without difficulty for quite a few
years), especially with the advent of the ZWAVE technology.

Obviously they're considerably cheaper, and probably much easier to
manage, than the Scleral.  If there's a particular type that you've
had good success with, I think it'd be worth my while to try it first.

SPEC Rx:

    SPH    CYL    AXIS
OD    +8.44    -1.71    89
OS    +7.95    -1.92    69

Grateful for any thoughts....

TIA,

I also have interest in the zwave contacts. My eyes dry out with
regular soft contacts. If zwave wont work, guess its either go back to
glasses or get IOLs
