Lynn I totally understand where you are coming from. When I was initially diagnosed at 19 I understand why (as it presented similar to really poor eyesight) and I was initially under the eye hospital....and as time has gone on I have sort of assumed that mine wasn't very bad as it's been stable for ...

I WAS originally diagnosed by a consultant..but as I was told last week...at 19 the state of my eyes was similar to KC..and the age I suppose was about right for it to come out......I had loads of tests last week by the lead KC opt at the hospital including a topogragh..so I guess it's correct....bu...

I have always seen my Optromitist twice a year and have just realised that he has not been performing a full eye test ( I didn't realise that I also needed to have these at least every 2 years..probably the last one I had was 25 years ago..when I was 19 and first diagnosed) .....I had an unusual bli...

She wore glasses fr...
