Re: CXL for son - right thing to do?
Hi Dawn, I went to see Accuvision in B'ham and found them extremely expensive (£2500 per eye)!!! I had CXL done on Harley Street in April and paid much than Accuvision wanted (£1500). I let Advanced Vision Care treat me and the care, knowledge and professionalism was first class! I strongly recommen...

Re: Corneal Collagen Cross-linking on the NHS
Hi all, I've got quite a lot to report since my last post as I've been a very busy little bee due to my KC progressing quicker than ever over the past year!!! I'm now wearing a toric soft lens prescribed by an excellent private contact lens centre in Nottingham city centre (yes, soft toric and it's ...

Re: Corneal Collagen Cross-linking on the NHS
Hi James, Many thanks for your post. Interesting reading and I do hope someone takes ownership of your post care soon, and more seriously! You said your only cost was for prescription steroids so I guess you had CXL on the NHS, correct? Who got you the treatment on the NHS? Your GP or local hospital...

Re: Corneal Collagen Cross-linking on the NHS
Hi all, If it's true that CXL is available at some NHS hospitals (?) this is excellent news because Moorfields quoted me £3000 to £4000 today for a combination of CXL and LAISIK (aparently you usually need both). I'll contact the said hospital in Liverpool to see if they can help me. As my KC is in ...

That's an excellent idea about plants Gareth. The place could do with a bit of brightening up. A giant venus fly trap will be very usefull to swallow up all the stuck up managers! I will also finally be able to get my own back on a colleague who doesn't get on with me so has this stupidly large plan...

Hi Ashley, I am glad the procedure seems to be working well for you. It can only get better been as you're in the early stages, I hope! I have been offered the procedure on the NHS but the consultant hasn't done it before. This puts me off quite a lot. Where did you have yours done and was it in bot...

Gareth, Thanks again. Typo on the humidifier. Thanks for the correction though. I'll present the links you provided to my boss tomorrow. She is very understanding and never has a problem with me taking as much time as I want to go for check-ups so she will be fine with providing what ever equipment ...

Thanks.
Hi Sweet and Gareth. Thank you so much for your quick replies. You have both given me some very usefull and thought provoking advise. I am currently using a small (I think 15") screen at work so my employer is going to have to invest in a much larger one. Everyone will be very jealous so I can'...
