Depends on cornea: Synergeyes is a type of hybrid contact lens that can be used in keratoconus. It uses a rigid central portion affixed to a soft skirt. This maintains good vision and improves comfort. These lenses are more expensive to buy and to fit. If a good fit can be achieved, initial comfort may be better than with hard lenses, wearing time can sometimes suffer though.

Contact lenese: Synergeyes is a brand of contact lenses designed for keratoconus. They work well, but i actually prefer scleral lenses for my patients with keratoconus.
