Cheers Gareth. I think the more junior optoms found it quite interesting, the owner of the independent was trying to explain some of the early signs of KC and also show them how its more difficult to do a posterior examination at the back of the eye. I never mind anyone looking think my previous pos...

Right I almost waged a war but I found out what I needed. I have to have a piece of paper from a high street optician (Who I last saw a long time ago) with my unaided prescription and also what I could best achieve with glasses...However, I did not have to buy the glasses. So I went today for an app...

I am more than aware of the problems of first trying RGP's If its like a burning pain...then the fit is hugging your cornea too tightly...if it is more of a scratch, pain in a certain area...then it is not sitting on the front of the eye properl...

Thanks for the replies. Regarding the optic nerve thing...hey did say I should have another visual fields test to determine if anything has been made worse...my last fields test was fine and I have to say I have never noticed anything odd in my visual field.

I got michelle (my gf) to watch me put them in and she says I always go to look straight up ...

Hi All, some advice needed. does the immense pain of rgp's ever go away and do they ever sit in the middle of your eye for more than 10 seconds!!! I have got my new ones today and every time I try put it in they sink to the nose corner of the eye. so bottom left for left eye and bottom right for the...

How the he...

Well i had my appointment and... the grey white spot is infact a corneal scar which i have had for ages, he said it has got a bit bigger which is why it may be visible. He also said getting cancer on that part of the eye is virtually impossible as it is a void...and corneal cancer is extremely rare ...
