Hi Ade,
sorry to hear about your problems, you really seem to be having a tough time of it. I agree with jayuk about getting a second opinion as I am sure that there must be a lens out there for you. Surely all the options must be looked at before anymore surgery. Good luck.

I have never had any queries from them apart from having to read a number plate when I needed a replacement licence. I don't knpw about ...

Hi, again. Yes I am an ancient KCer. My original optician was very good once I had been diagnosed but it got to the stage where he could do no more so referred me to another branch to see what they could do, that optician's reaction was "Oh my God you need a lens transplant like yesterday!" as you c...

Hi. Although I have visited this site on and off for the last couple of years I have only just decided to join in with all you lovely fellow KCers. I have been diagnosed since 1981, it would have been sooner but I was already wearing contact lenses. I have corneal lenses and manage reasonably well w...
