Re: laser treatment after graft
Hi Mousework, was in the same position myself and asked a leading consultant this same question ! As usual, the answer varies :-( but generally laser-after-grafting can help with some residual optical aberrations... but... irregularities -- especially those in the stromal bed between the graft and t...

Re: Prof. Massimo Lombardi and his Mini A.S.R.K. method
Hi Bigbird
Thanks for the information and the link. As you say, you have to evaluate any treatment option very carefully for yourself -- doing your own research can help a lot with this task which is why it is useful when people share what they know, like you've done here.
Kind regards
Chris

Re: Kerasoft IC too fragile?
Hi Steven To answer your questions, from the top: 1) Alas no, they are not available from all NHS Eye Units. That's said, if you think this product may be of benefit to you (especially if you've already tried other lens types unsuccessfully) then you're perfectly in the right to ask if they could be...

Re: My Pentacam scans...
Hi Munster, "congratulations" (maybe not exactly the right word !), you're on the borderline between "moderate" and "severe" Keratoconus. The assessment is usually based on the following criteria: The steepness of greatest curvature (Kmax, or "Km" in the model...

Re: Suture removal
Hi Amer Oh, patience, yes, I've heard of people who have that :D :oops: But seriously, what you've been advised is correct. Suture removal affects the shape of the cornea. The shape of the cornea has a significant impact on your visual acuity. Unfortunately the cornea is not like a piece of elastic ...

Re: Help Please
Hi Peter
Welcome to the Forum ! When I worse lenses, I hated losing them in the car. I always had to get someone with proper vision to find them for me... wish I'd known about the tights and vacuum idea then

Re: CHARLOTTE'S LEFT EYE AFTER ACUTE HYDROPS
Hi Angie Glad things are (another pun not intended but the phrase fits !) looking up for Char. At least, in so far as Char can cope pretty well and seems happy post-hydrops. I guess you and Chris know best of all that, if you had to score on a quality-of-life spectrum, where Char would be and it sou...

Re: Eye charities and welfare benefits
I receive DLA at the moment (I won't go through the trials and tribulations of what it took to be deemed eligible for it) and am ready for my own personal PIP battle (and battle I'm sure it will be !) when the time comes. We try our level best to offer support to anyone who needs it if they are seek...

Re: Transferring Hospitals
Hi longmover Well, my experience suggests you are indeed in the lap of the NHS Gods, and they can sometimes be a bit capricious ! When I transferred between NHS eye units, it was like I was starting from scratch. They could phone through to get my previous contact lens prescription and lens type, so...
