I have recently found out that my cousin's daughter has just been diagnosed with KC My Mother and my cousins Father are siblings (So not following single sex side here) I grew up in Southern Africa and Cousin hails from Inverness so just about as far apart geographically and weather wise as you can ...

Great idea on the video

I doubt I will make it up. (From West London)

Car option is a 4 hour (minimum) drive each way

A DVD of the sessions would be appreciated

For years I told people I had bad astigmatism.
They looked blank

I said picture your eye ball it is round like a football
Mine is more like a rugby ball - a bit oval in places

Everyone seemed happy enough and could cope with that explanation!

Firstly welcome to the forum Secondly and some would say don't panic. Now what you have found is exactly what many on this forum will gave found out before. I.e. That results obtained from different technicians will vary hugely. A lot of opticians have probably never seen a case and as such would no...
