Re: Beta Spectrin
That's stunning research! WOW!!!
With this stuff going on in 10 years it may be possible to really help and solve the progression of KC. These guys need lots of money!

Re: 2nd Day in RGP's....questions
Sounds as if the fitting is not quite spot on...
I'd pop back to the prescriber asap and get him/her to have quick look at it. They'll know what to do!
