UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Hi From what I have read the procedure itself does not take much time (~30 minutes) however after it you get haze in your eyes and it will take many weeks or even months for the haze to completely subside you can have CXL done on one eye and when it recovers you can go for the 2nd one so that you ca...

Keraflex is also a new treatment
why are you going for t-cat and not Keraflex ?

Thanks Lynn , the link was very helpful How often do you think that KC patients should get their eyes checked for progression and changes with a scan or a topology map ? like once every month or every three months as with already weak eye sight you won't be able to self-notice any gradual changes in...

One of the experts speaking at one of our meetings quoted a large study which suggested that KC is less likely to progress quickly when it's mild on first diagnosis, although I agree there's never any guarantees with KC. And the NICE guidelines on CXL say it should only be done where there is evide...

3) I'll leave others who have had CXL to tell you whether it's an 'ordeal'. And of course, the fact that your KC seems so mild means you don't need to rush into a decision on that. Anne Hi You are right but don't you think that KC can progress very quickly in couple of weeks/months, so won't it be ...

Thanks Lynn

but is getting a soft-lens just a hit and trail ? or can the doctor/optician actually recommend you to try a soft-lens based on your scan results ?

Thanks Lynn & Andrew I have mild KC just in one eye (\45D) so these lenses might be worth trying do these lens also have some side effects like the hard lens ? I have read that some doctors actually believe that hard lens can make KC to deteriorate further, hope that it is not the case with the ...

Hi

I was wondering that if I use soft lens (the lenses which are used normally for cosmetic purposes) than should I expect somewhat better vision as compared to glasses ?

I had the test, earlier (over a month ago) the reading of diff was 0.133mm of posterior view of problematic eye , now it is 0.106mm
there is slight change ? is it for good or worse ? tests were done on same machine

Hi
Is there any link/resource which lists that normal/healthy readings of an orb scan test ?

and what about the value of diff ? the less the better ? am I right ?

Thanks
