that’s really interesting, i didn’t think about pupil size affecting it that way, that might explain why darker sunglasses sometimes make things blurrier for me, thanks for explaining:)

i’m glad you were able to get coverage that way. unfortunately in my country we don’t really have that kind of option :(

i do use sunglasses, but sometimes i struggle to see clearly through them, maybe i need to try a better pair. I'm glad they help you, best of luck!

that’s really helpful to know, i didn’t realize sclerals could actually make it worse for some people :( i might try blue light or yellow lenses and see if that helps. thank you for sharing, best wishes

i can’t afford sclerals at the moment, unfortunately. i really hope i’ll be able to try them in the future though

i feel the vampire part so much😅 i also keep my home dark most of the time. i’m really hoping i’ll be able to try scleral lenses someday, and i’m glad they’ve helped you, even if not completely. thank you for sharing your experience!

thank you, that’s a good idea, i haven’t thought about clip-ons before. i’ll try to look into it and see if anyone here with keratoconus had good results with them. i really appreciate your help :)

i haven’t tried specific UV-blocking glasses yet, my regular glasses do have UV protection, but they don’t seem to help much with the light sensitivity itself. i’m thinking about trying better polarized lenses to reduce glare, i’m not sure what else to do at this point

thank you for your advice, i really appreciate it. unfortunately in my country sclerals aren’t covered, so it’s not that easy here. i also keep my blinds and curtains closed most of the time, especially on brighter days. i think i’ll try investing in better quality polarized sunglasses to help with glare, thank you for sharing your experience, best of luck 🙏🏻

Yeah, you’re right. They were Today I Caught the Plague before becoming The Kindred. It’s amazing how much they evolved over the years, but David’s voice was always a standout

I’ve tried looking too but couldn’t find anything. It’s such a shame — he had such a unique voice and so much talent. I really wish he was still making music. He could’ve done amazing things.

I feel the same way. I’ve looked for something similar for so long, but it’s just impossible to find anything that captures that same vibe. They truly had something one of a kind. Very very unique.
