Episode 3 - Scleral Life
from Clearly KC Podcast · host nationalkeratoconusfoundation
Clearly KC podcast host Dr. Melissa Barnett OD talks with Jeff, diagnosed with KC in 2007. He recounts vision changes after college that drove him to an eye doctor where he learned his diagnosis. He tells of trying different options and then giving up when there seemed to be no hope of vision improvement. Jeff describes getting scleral lenses in 2013 as life changing. Very satisfied with his vision now, he talks about the years lost when he was uninformed about keratoconus and unmotivated to continue looking for a solution. His message, not to give up hope, is one that he shares with others through his social media presence as Jeff Scleral.
