In the keratoconus subreddit, a large percentage of us wear scleral lenses.

One thing I often read, and have personally experienced, is that after wearing scleral lenses and waking up the next morning, there can be a tingling or burning sensation. It can be quite painful, to the point where it’s difficult to even open your eyes for the first minute or so.

This might sound like basic advice, but it really helps: please wash your eyes with water after removing your sclerals. It makes a huge difference.

It used to be very hard for me to function in the morning before, but since I started doing this consistently, things have improved a lot.
