The idea of this post came to me when I was reading a similar discussion on our
Facebook group, and I though it may be interesting for all of you to know what kind of stuff do keratoconus patients need to have around and what do they carry in their bags.
What do you need to carry with you all the time for your eyes? Do you have a special bag for them? Tell us in the comments section below.
Here is what some of our members shared with us:

"Specialists have recommended I use the dry eye drops in vials because they don't contain any preservatives." Warren

"I don't have a "bag", per se, but do keep this kit in my desk at all times so that on days that when my eyes hurt I can switch to glasses. I also will take the bottle of solution with me in my purse so that if my lenses dry out or become uncomfortable I can take them out and reinsert them (or store them for the day)." Becky

"I use HyloTear eye drops for dry eyes, mini bottle of saline incase I need to take my RGPs out and rinse them, Boston conditioner and Boston cleaner, a hand sanitiser incase of emergency and my sunglasses. I don't go anywhere without my sunglasses! This little kit even comes with me on a night out." Sarah
