UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

I have tried this with a lens in my left eye (giving me good vision) and glasses for my right eye, which has been grafted and can't tolerate a lens. My overall vision was improved, but the prescription required by my right eye was such that it made me feel quite sick and I couldn't cope with it whil...

Yes that is discharge after a GA. All still going well although the cornea is very swollen so I can't see much yet. Still, very early days. I was very nervous as well, not really about the op Itself more about the recovery and eventual outcome. I can't really remember how things progressed 15 years ...

If you weren’t eligible (e.g. KC too advanced, rigid contact lens wearer or you’ve had a corneal graft), would you have been likely to participate if you could wind the clock back? Yes. As people have said it is easier ...

I've had my replacement So2Clear for four days now and so far it feels great! As soon as I put it in it felt good, and I managed to keep it in for four hours (felt like I could have kept it in longer but I have been advised to start with 4 hours wear and build up by an hour a day). I've had it in fo...
