Cause found!!! or am I seeing things???

Hello Troops,

Here are some simple to understand infomation on a proteinase (an enzyme)which breaks down other protein which has been found to be the little buddy behind KC.

Apparently.....from doing some research....they are tring to work towards a gene therapy to solve our problems.....

Which I believe should restore the cornea back to normal.....hopfully!!! :D

There is a nice picture of these very nice people who are working really hard to help us...... :D
......and good luck and god bless to them...

Also I found out (from a university, that is developing artifical corneas) that KC is a fairly common disorder......as there are many who correct well with glasses and there is no progression...so these people don't know they have KC......
Regards

Sajeev
