Hi All I posted back in early summer as a new user to this forum. Short background for you, i have KC in right eye, very steep cornea, I also have disability in left side, very little dexterity in hand/fingers. I was told that due to limited use of hand and steepness of cornea lenses would be no goo...

Hi Drew

thanks for that, I think its because its too steep. I did mention to them that I suffer v bad headaches on side of eye with KC but they said KC would not cause headaches. As a prevention I'm going to wear my sunglassess more, as my reacturlights are not that good.

thanks again

Kevin

Thank you all of replying to me I really apreciate it all. I think if I go for opticians eye test in jan followed by hospital in late may hopefully that will be enough, if my left good eye does ever start to show any deterioation I will go back to hospital straight away. again much thanks Kevin

Hi Gareth

I currently wear glasses and my option said that new perscription is no use as i'm on the top end apparently?

Hello everyone, I had my eye clinic appointment yesterday its for 4th May. Starting to get nervous already, as i'm very worried about someone touching my eye. Also another question, I think i may need lenses, but i have a disability wihich affects my left side and I have very limited use of my left ...
