One of the things we hear from patients with keratoconus is this:
“I’ve been told I need to stick to very small glasses.”
Over time, that message can make people feel like they have no choice.
Yes, high cyl prescriptions absolutely need careful thought. They need experience, and precise measurements. But they do not automatically mean tiny frames or poor vision in specs.
With the right frame shape, additional measurements and expert dispensing, we can often achieve really good visual outcomes in frames you genuinely love wearing.
The frame in this photo was chosen by a patient with a -9.50 cyl. Just look at how beautifully those lenses have turned out.
If you’ve ever felt restricted by your prescription, we’d be very happy to talk things through and explore what’s possible for you.
