Hello friends.

Just a simple question, do you know of any place in London to get a ORBSCAN topography or similar relatively easy? I just needed one now and getting it from a doctor is too slow/expensive.

Hello riz, just wanted to say a few words. Your vision can get worse after the C3R but in the majority of cases improves.
