Floaters with KC and contact lens

[Marilyn]

I have had KC for 52 years and have had a graft in my left eye 37 years ago. I wear hard lenses. In fact in my right eye I piggy back with a soft and hard lens. I also suffer with dry eye syndrome so put drops in several times a day.

I was told a year ago that my grafted cornea was thinning and I had several appointments lined up to discuss cataract op and the future. Needless to say all my appointments have been cancelled due to Covid19 and last week I was phoned to ask if all was ok. Answering positively I was told I would go down as routine and have to wait several months for a clinic appointment.

Today I have experienced spiders webs going across my vision. It appears to be just my left eye, which is the grafted one, so I am concerned. Do I need to see an optician or will it go on it’s own? Can I wear my lens? Could this be due to my thinning cornea? I know I will never get a clinic appointment.

Hello Marilyn
I have copied this thread into the general discussion part of the forum, where more people will see it and replied to it there.

This reply is also in the general discussion forum -
If the spiders webs have got no worse, then have a look at this which should reassure you

But note the last sentence in the article about a black shadow or a curtain effect. That's a sign of a detached retina and needs not a clinic appt but A&E
So if you're still concerned, please do see an optician or go to A&E
Let us know how things go.
