Hello,

Thanks for the reply Dr G. I guess I will consider coming down to your clinic sometime in the near future for a lens or two. Gonna need to save up some money first though!

Thanks again

Hi, I currently use regular scelral lenses given to me by the NHS. I'm just wondering what the difference is between regular scelrals and these wavefront scelral lenses. Sadly I will probably never be able to come to the US just for treatment, but I would like to think that these lenses may make the...

Hi pedro, I was in your shoes around 2 years ago. My left eye was too thin for Crosslinking, but my right eye had decent vision and was treatable. Looking back, I'm glad I went through with it when I did. Like with any surgery, it is a bit of a gamble but it's worth it considering the benefits - it ...

When I had the CXL procedure, I had the bandage lens on my eye for a week, to prevent it from getting infected. I also wore an eye guard at night for a while to stop myself from rubbing the eye.

What worked for me was picking at least...

Hi :) So I have my Full penetrative corneal transplant on my left eye Thursday. I will be given a General Anesthetic. I'm concerned about whether I should delay the surgery or not, as I have been told that a cold can interfere with the Anesthetic (my cold isn't that bad now). Can somebody please tel...

KC isn't very common, so it tends to skip generations.

Hello everyone, The last time I posted here was around January when was having immense pain in my left eye. To put it short, it's gotten worse :/ No matter what I tried or the optometrists/specialists tried, the pain is not subsiding. My left scleral lens does not fit any more. It is now extremely l...

Congratulations!

Hi, My left eye (the worse eye) feels like someone poked it with a pin! It hurts so much, and the eye only half-opens. I have already visited A & E, and the doctor told me that there appears to be no damage. Even when he numbed my eye, the pain didn't go away. All I was given was celluvisc 0.5%,...
