UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Hi guys, Does anyone else use a Lens Applicator Ring? see pictures. I've only got one left so have just ordered more from the US. Ordered through: https://www.dryeyeshop.com/storefront.aspx Which are quite expensive for shipping, does anyone know of somewhere else to get them from, anyone else using...

Hi guys, are you on Kerasoft 2 or Kerasoft 3 lenses?

I found the Kerasoft 3 significantly better.

BTW - My old GP was also running some field trials in a form of acupuncture (using a stud in the foot) that he said he was getting some good results from in terms of tolerating wear time.

The update is that since 2015 - I am now on hard lenses, ones that I have to fill up with saline prior to putting in my eye. It is more of a pain in the a**e to do, it took me ages to master ( in fact I still mess it up and get bubbles in there) but my vision is greatly improved. Point being I start...

I wanted to take the time to write to y...

It is also when i was in my early 30's, so I am not sure if the sun had anything to do wi...

Ok I am your man for hay fever - I used to be in pieces. At the moment I use Opticrom Allergy eyedrops. I use them immediately after waking (you then have to wait 10 mins to put your lenses in and blink a lot) and then immediately after taking my lenses out. I obviously also take a regular Boots Hay...

Hi all - just for info, I only wear polarised sunglasses as it helps reduce glare and protects me from the sun. I have some very expensive sunglasses, but also use some from Halfords that cost £30 and are just as good as the big expensive brands - probably better as I don't care as much when I inevi...

Hi guys, I have had KC for 6-8 years, but it isn't too bad. I have recently been forced by friends and family to agree to see a specialist, but i'm not sure who to turn to. I did see Roger Buckley 6 years ago but he has now retired and there is a dentist in his old suite. Can anyone recommend someon...
