Optometrist/Opthalmologist and Cataracts
Posted: Sat 19 Feb 2011 10:37 am
Ok I have had KC for 40+ years and have been regularly attending clinics etc.
I now have cataracts forming and the lady I see at Oxford asked me when did you last see an Opthalmologist, um er 20+ years ago I guess. She said I should be seeing one to monitor my KC. My brother and I are in the same boat he never sees one either I stupidly thought that if I was called regularly for hospital appointments that was it that I was being taken care of and seeing everyone I needed to.
Additionally I now know what my visual Accuity is apparently weak eye is 6/12 good eye is 6/9. Apparently my weak eye improves to 6/9 with pinhole and chin elevation can anyone who knows their stuff enlighten me a bit purrlease?
