UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Thank you Matt. Glad to hear you are enjoying good vision following your graft. If you dont mind me asking can I ask how long ago you had your graft and whether you had any issues after surgery. A couple of days ago I noticed some haziness around the cornea and after ringing the hospital was advised...

Thank you both for your kind wishes. As a further note, health permitting, I will also be attending the next meeting in West Midlands (taking place on 16th April) to discuss my experience of having a graft. I understand that John Thatcher has already announced this get together and I would encourage...

Hi All, I find I would only visit and post on this forum when I was unsure about what to do with my KC treatment or when I felt frustrated. I had told myself that I really should make a conscience effort to contribute more often to the forum as I recall it was the feedback I received to my posts and...

Hi John, I have had a graft (DALK) less than a week ago in my right eye. Unfortunately the contact lens solution did not work for me as finding a lens to fit my eye was a problem and there was also significant scarring in the eye. I was therefore told to either have a graft or continue to manage wit...

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that my operation was postponed due to the chest infection not clearing. I now have to wait for another date which is now going to be in the new year unless there is a cancellation.

I also tried to plan the surgery so that it took place in winter and in doing so would be avoiding t...

Hi Ian

Thank you for your post, which was very helpful. Unfortunately I have developed a chest infection so it is touch and go as to whether this will clear in time to allow the surgery to proceed

Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't have another setback.

Hi all, Hope you're all well. Since my last post and taking into account the comments I received, I decided to press ahead with having a graft in my right eye. However, with the date fast approaching (3rd December), I am beginning to feel quite nervous and anxious about the procedure. I was wonderin...

Hi Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my post.I did not mention before but I also suffer from hay fever and this would cause me to rub my eyes a lot which in turn probably contributed to the thinning of the cornea. With respect to the contact lens options I was told that due to the...

Hi, My name is Mohammad Kamran and I am 34 years old. I am new to this forum. Approximately three years ago I was referred to the hospital after being told at an eye test that there was a possibility of having keratoconus in my right eye. This was confirmed by the hospital who advised that the condi...
