UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Hi Gareth, Any operation only has the aim to improve the corneal surface to make vision correction easier. Not to nit pick but mini ARK for example is definitely not designed to create a surface that is easier to correct. Actually this is one of the main points that got my attention in the first pla...

You know many things on me and you will find more information on our forum. I'm sorry Vincent but I know nothing about you and I cant read french. I have commented on the french forum some time ago but I don't believe I was talking to you (I used a online translator so it did not work out well :)) ...

Hi Vincent, Thank you very much for supplying us with this video... it allows so much more understanding when we can actually see the operation in progress. By the way is that you that is being operated on? If so, how long have you had keratoconus? At what stage was your keratoconus when you decided...

Hi Karl,
Thank you very much for your replie. I think its very important that we all (as forum posters) know exactly where we stand as regards all this. You have been very helpful.

Hari

Hi Matt, Thanks Karl and John for your input... but I still arent clear on this. Is there a specific law that covers internet slander? If I were to post messages here for example that directly commented on the practice of a specfic doctor could I be charged? I only ask this as I have been discussing...

This is a question for Matt: I have asked this before and not had a direct answer... :roll: ok 'What is the law that covers what is said on these internet forums? What action, if any can be taken by people who feel that they have been slandered? Is this law international? Is there a europeon law tha...

Hi dmac831, Luckily I just caught your message (I'm going to be away for a week so if you have any further questions I wont be able to replie to you untill I get back)... To answer your question my eyesight has been great since the operation (two years ago now)... before I had ARK I couldnt see a th...

Hi, I remember that all I wanted to do after my mini ARK operation was go see a movie. I'm a big film fan and I really missed it during my time with keratoconus. Anyway, I had my operation in Rome, Italy and as luck would have it at the end of the same street where my operation took place was a cine...

Hi Pat, Excelently made point... this is exactly what I believe. And this is why I object to definitive online statements that declare such high percentage success for graft outcomes. They mislead and should be revised to more accurately express the true 'street level' outcomes... in fact I think it...

This is interesting, the article you quote gives the number of kcer's that go on to graft at 20%... others say 10, still others say even less. Does anyone have access to any data that truelly attempts to define this number once and for all? Over 90 per cent of corneal transplants done for keratoconu...
