Re: Cross Linking

Gilly,

Lynn is right about using a specific type of drops during the CXL procedure to increase corneal thickness. Mr Muhtaseb knows about this because he did it on me! One of my eyes had a thickness of under 360 but with the drops it got way over the 400 point to allow the CXL to take place.

Re: Problems? How you deal with it?

HI, I know how you feel as I have had the last 10 years with my eye getting slowly worse. I have been at the point of having to wear contact lenses all the time for most of those 10 years.Otherwise I just tend to see a big blur.

Re: Has pupil size anything to do with KC?

I have had exactly the same problem as you and would regularly get turned away from nightclubs in my younger days, because I apparently looked like I had been taking something I shouldnt have (I hasten to add that I never did take anything !!). It even got to the point where I would not drink any al...

Re: Soft lenses option

One tip which I have for wearing RGP's for sport is to wear a soft lens over the top of the RGP. My g'friend is an optom and I have run this idea past a number of optoms and my corneal surgeon on a number of occassions. They all seem to think it is a very good idea. What you do is find a suitable so...

Re: CXL abroad or UK

Dear Naveed, I have had CXL on my left eye after INTACS. My primary reason for both procedures was a thinning of the cornea, and at one measure was down to 334 in my left eye. When I had the procedure done in Sept 08 (privately in Swansea, South Wales) the measurement reading in my left eye was hove...

INTACS Update

I had INTACS surgery on my left eye on 21st May 2008. I had one INTAC SK inserted into the inferior section of my eye, as this was considered to be the best option for my inferiorly placed cone. Four main reasons for having it done: 1. The cone was progressing to a steepest reading of 60.3D, with an...

Re: Rose K Lens

Hi Bluesfan, Having tried numerous types of Rose K lenses over a number of years i must say your experiences of them sound very similar to mine. Whilst i can't tell if your symptoms are the same as mine or if the reasons for the your problems are similar to my experience, i can tell you what i found...

Stitches and Astigmatism

Hello All, I had my left eye fitted with INTACS SK one week ago today. I only had one intac put into the lower part of my eye as i had an inferiorly placed cone. Apparently this is supposed to give better results. I am pleased to say no pain or discomfort at all and in fact i can't feel anything in ...

Re: Mini Sclerals

Hi I'm interested in these lenses too. My left eye is starting to get difficult to fit with a standard RGP.

Does anyone have a weblink or details of the manufacturers so i can look them up in a bit more detail.

Thanks
