UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Hi Graham, Thanks for your response. I am actually there today I have just realised so I will inquire then. I'm still not 100% sure about moving given how good BMEC have been, but the travelling is getting to me a little as its about 120 miles each way. I hadn't thought about PALS either, so thanks ...

Hi all, I wondered if I could ask some advice? I'm currently under the care of BMEC for Keratoconus and see them every six months for reviews. I'm very happy there, and they have always been brilliant with their care, but I have now moved to Wakefield and have been wondering about asking for a trans...

Hey Krolen,

Sounds like things are going well for you so that's good news! I just got back from hols so now just waiting for Friday to have my CXL done. Got to be in at 8:30am so at least I can get it out the way first thing and not have to think about it all day!

Cheers

Chris

Hi Lynn/Krolen, First up - thanks very much for the info Lynn, that was interesting to read and appreciate you taking the time to reply. I do totally understand that you can't say much without seeing someone's eyes, but I (and I suspect I might speak for a few here) don't always get much in the way ...

Hi Krolen, Ah ok - I did actually see something on the Athens procedure but go disturbed watched the video by work and never went back to it. Thanks again for the updates it's nice to see how someone is getting on. I know it's all very much individual but some idea is better than none!! In either ca...

Hi Krolen, Sorry missed your other message. Thanks for you offer might take you up on that when I start needlessly worrying just before having it done. I didn't actually know anything about a laser part of it till you mentioned it (I'd sort of seen it in various searches but not paid attention to it...

Hey Krolen, I get halo's with my current lenses to be honest, but it's never been that much that I've moaned about it, although it has been harder driving at night recently so was thinking of bringing it up at my next check up (Of which I assume I shall be having a few in the near future!!). I do kn...

Hi Krolen, Cheers for the reply; I seem to be worrying more about doing it since I decided to go ahead with it! Interestingly one difference you have to me is that the person I am seeing has said he doesn't bother with the bandage contact lens. Good idea about sleeping in glasses though - I think I ...

Hi Krolen, Good to hear things are going well for you. How you getting on now? I'm due to have it done at the end of June in my left eye and I was wondering how you got on the first couple of days after it? Did you have any pain at all. When discussing it I was told I'd be given a selection of drops...

Hi Jennie,

Hello! Just wanted to say I hope it all went well for you. I must admit this forum is great for putting your mind at ease - I think more than anything it's nice to know some others out there you can talk to.

Cheers

Chris
