Re: Moorfiels solutions policy
I think there is a range of issues which require us in as effective a way as possible to scream, shout and generally stamp our collective feet to draw maximum attention, Slowly Slowly which I have advocated before just is not, in my humble opinion doing the job. Mike Oliver I'd agree. I hope I tota...

Very possible that the lens has caused the scratch but more likely by the lens harbouring grit as Michael points out than the lens itself. One of the problems with lenses is that we train ourselves to ignore the soreness they cause so that we’re less likely to notice things entering the eye tha...

On the issue of lenses and increasing/slowing rates of progression - My KC has progressed rapidly since I started wearing contact lenses, but it was progressing before which is why I started wearing them. I think the first question to ask Brigid might be whether any attempt has been made in the UK ...

As a straight answer, I developed KC at about your age and had a corneal graft about 10 years later. Can't remember the exact dates.

On forums like this there'll be people who have been really unlucky. There are also people like me who had a graft years ago and it...
