Tears

Alrighty. I was just wondering if there have been any studies or anything which have looked into people with KC and their tears. I was just thinking we might have something in our tears which have caused our KC over a number of years. Whether we are born with it and whether higher concentrations of ...

Re: C3-R for KC

Hi gurdevb. I am not sure how beneficial C3-R would be in your case. C3-R is thought to stop/slow the progression of KC by strengthening the 'links' in the cornea. It doesn't necessarily improve vision. In order to have the procedure done, your cornea needs to be a certain thickness (but there are e...

Re: I've Just Been Diagnosed - What can I expect?

Hi andread, I think it'll depend on how much your KC progresses. I've been quite lucky so far - it has progressed fairly slowly and I have just been wearing glasses for the past 3/4 years and my eyesight has been pretty good. Did the eye doctor think you may have had the condition for a while prior ...

Re: C3R Cross Linking

Re: C3R Cross Linking

Re: C3R Cross Linking

Hi there. I didn't want to start a new topic, and thought my questions would fit nicely in here. I was diagnosed about 3-4 years ago when i was 17/18 by a high-street optician, just like the original poster. Having read about the procedure and various accounts of how it went for people, it seems lik...
