UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Very interesting discussion indeed. For me I have to say the worst symptom would be loosing (almost) my job! I am in a line of work where in order to keep doing what I should do I must meet certain visual requirements which are checked regularly. In fact at one of these checks, this is how I found o...

Hi everyone... I have recently started wearing RGP contacts and have been having some problems and concerns. I figured I airing some of these concerns here would be best as I am in real need of feedback and I am sure other people with similar experiences or knowledge could be of help :) My Keratocon...

Dear Allison... I am sorry to hear about the outcome of trying the INTACS. I hope things will get better for you soon. If my reassurance is any help, I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in facing a less than supportive employer. I personally faced the same when my employer found out...

All local opthalmologists have reccommended Baraquer to me, but I have yet to hear from anyone who had 1st hand experience with C3R w...
