Re: Covid vaccine and graft rejection
That's been the consistent advice I have been given too.

Re: Space cadet help please!
Have they explained why? Have you had them before? I can see they can be triggered by surgery so hopefully as things settle down they will begin to subside.

I think you need to go back to A&E, I've found evenings and weekends a a good time to turn up.

Re: DMEK experience
I've not had a DMEK, but have had two grafts one PK and the second a Femtosecond Laser-assisted DALK. If there is a 'trick' to travelling, obviously you need someone with you but be ready to go as soon as the hospital says you can leave. I'm about 1.5 hours door-to-door by bus/underground and train....

Re: Suspected Keratoconus son 16

There are fitting guides and best practices that Optoms work to, but sometim...

Moorfields exceeds expectations - Attend Anywhere
I have a corneal graft that was done in November 2021 and all is generally all is well with it. So far I have had about 6 of the 18 sutures (stitches) removed, either to improve the vision or because they had become loose. Currently, for other reasons, my health is compromised and I need to isolate ...

Re: Sacleral lens have made my glasses prescription worse
The scleral lens is mainly there to 'fix' the distortion caused by the KC. If your optometrist recommends you have one then is because your KC is bad enough that they cannot improve your vision anymore with spectacles. Once the scleral lens is fitting well, the prescription that is added to that len...
