Keratoconus contact lenses?
Hello:)
I wanted to take a job as a driver-lasher and had the preliminary medical examination with the company doctor today.
The company doctor could only determine my visual acuity was 0.6 in both eyes. The required visual acuity was 0.8.
In my case it is because of keratoconus.
When I got the contact lenses a few years ago, I was told that with contact lenses I would be at 0.8 in both eyes and that they would have gotten the maximum out of it.
I plan to make a doctor's appointment tomorrow for an eye test because I had the same problem when I was getting my driver's license.
Now to the question: If I was told at the beginning that the maximum had been achieved and my eyes have perhaps gotten a little worse since then, can I be brought back to 0.8, or is it no longer possible based on what the optician said a few years ago.
With glasses you can always adjust the strength, but in my case it is an exception because of the keratoconus and I don't know how to interpret the statement.
The strength of my lenses has been adjusted two or three times now, and I know that I had to look through the different lenses at the optician's to see if there was any improvement, but the other two lenses didn't make a difference, and I could see a little worse through the other one, perhaps because it was a bit stronger? I don't think the optician would let me look through worse lenses to see if there was any improvement, would he?
If they need to be stronger, there is hope that the lenses can be adjusted again.

can I be brought back to the 0.8,
How does anyone know about this? Here is no one who can examine or measure your eyes including Keratoconus.
You have to discuss this with your ophthalmologist.
