Well done Sally and good luck in the new job.

I know there will be people who have a seriously hard time with KC but for others it won't ever really impact on their lives.

When I had the problem I found one of those blue or green tinted plastic strips that stick to the top of the screen worked better than a visor. On posh cars you can usually specify a graded tinted strip at the top of the screen and there are specialist screen tinting companies around that could prob...

Had topography done a long time ago and I understand there is some scarring. Don't mind being confused at all if it leads to the right answers.

Could those lenses potentially improve my vision Jay even though I've no problem wearing RGP?

Maybe it's the nose that's the problem Sanjeev.

Barney, I think they should have slowed down the consultantion for you and may be done it over stages, as i think your case and for many others, its just the way any one consultant wants to "see it". Anyway, do you think a second opinion (or even a third) medically, is in order? Has anyon...

Not confusing Jay, well ok a bit, but your input very much appreciated. This isn't going quite as smoothly as I'd hoped. :? Latest is that because I hadn't had a pre-op appointment I phoned last week. Arranged one for this Thursday. Confirmation letter arrived at the weekend which also said that for...

Glad it went well. :) You might find it works slightly differently in different cars. One where you sit back from the screen and with your head close to the roof might suit best. Becomes trickier when the light is reflected from the road. If you still have problems with the off-the-shelf sun specs c...

After my graft I went from terrifying myself driving and walking past friends in the street without recognising them to having sight as good as I'd ever had in my life. Have almost forgotten how bad it was. My experience of grafts has been totally positive and I'm still completely ignorant of any of...

Would be very unfair of me to suggest I've been pushed Jay. More that I'm surprised how quickly it swung from a graft not being appropriate to the opposite. I don't know if there are any alternatives which is why I'm picking the brains of all you well-informed folk here. Fact is the sight in my righ...

I do try and put things into context and give some background to the condition. I wish someone would do the same on that car forum I keep looking at Gareth. :D I recently bought a new car and that forum gives the impression everyone has had major problems with it. Scary stuff. Mine has been perfect...
