CXL came too late for me, so I can only speak from talking to lots of KC people and reading lots of people's experiences on this forum in the past. My personal view of one eye or both ...

Do sign, particularly if you're in the Edinburgh area.

Re: East grinsted contact lens appointment
That's good news about your referral to Brighton. I'll e-mail you the address for getting a copy of your lens prescription. And I've removed your e-mail address from your post in case you suddenly get loads of e-mails from spammers.
