Re: hello advice please ... I think I put this in FAQs by mistake!

Sorry to hear about your progressing KC, further evidence in my opinion that the chance to take up CXL should not be age discriminating. Like me Pete your further proof that the old chestnut stated here that KC stabilises and does not normally progress beyond 30 is to be treated with caution. The ou...

Do personal research on the internet which is a valueable source of information to enable you to self help -

Re: Hi all advice please

Lewigrey I have been waiting to read further input from other KCers but sadly so far there is only myself and Space Cadet who makes you a kind offer of a meet up. Its still very much a case of self help. CXL was approved by NICE in 2009 which meant that subject to funding approval by each NHS Trust ...

Re: Hi all advice please

Oh and that old chestnut "it does not progress beyond 35" is just bad advice and completely wrong.

Success rates of corneal transplants in the UK

A corneal transplant should always be the last resort it is not a quick fix. I had a DALK corneal transplant on my right eye in November 2013, age 52 (so anyone who tells you it does not progress after 30 and the refusal to offer CXL after this age is wrong!) after over a years wait on the NHS due t...
