UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Ah yes, I have that every time as well - utter waste of time for the first few months.

I am always tempted to just shout out random letters and see what she does!

Back to the consultant yesterday. He is very pleased with how things are, had another stitch removed - so thats 3 down 14 to go. Vision is around the five lines off the snellen chart. Antibiotic drops (chlorophenawhatsit) 3 times a day for a week, maxidex twice a day for two months. Have to return i...

Don't forget guys that you are only just post-op, my consultant (I am 9 months post op) said that the first few months are about healing and getting the new cornea to attach to the eye properly. Vision at that time is a secondary concern. At around 8 months I had a couple of stitches removed and the...

I guess that is because people with good outcomes don't feel that they need the support that the forum offers. My own recently grafted eye is a case in point. everything is going extremely well, and within ays of the graft I was using it to read text down to 10pt. I did post the good news, but have...

Thats really good to hear, i bet you are well chuffed :D What sort of graft did you have? Hope you have a great christmas and a happy new year. I am very pleased indeed, absolutely astonished - the vision with they eye is amazing compared to before. I had a full graft in the end, the surgeon said t...

Evening all. Returned to see the consultant recently, almost 9 months post op. Had a couple of sutures removed and can now manage five lines off the snellen chart! Am very pleased with how things are going. Though my frustrations with the NHS appointment system are another story and are related on m...

Well I am certain that my vision has improved, without glasses I use the grafted eye all the time (yes I can choose which eye I use - amblyopia iirc). I can almost read this screen without glasses, (About a foot away 1280x1024 and standard sized fonts) if it wasnt for the slight ghosting I am sure t...

It amazes me how long everyone is on the steroids post graft! 20 years ago I was only on them for 3 months, now it seems the going rate is at least 9! Anyone know the reason why? I guess that medical knowledge has advanced and that they feel there is a better chance of success with extended steroid...

That is cool!! One of the best pics ive seen post graft to be honest What did you use to take it?..... Thankyou. A Casio Exilim EX-Z1000 - 10MP compact camera (around £250 if you shop around). I bought it for the wife for her birthday as our old Fuji was old and big and this new one is "gir...

OK heres the link: http://www.paosborne.com/images/eye-closeup.jpg It is not that humoungous now I have cropped it right down to chop off my eyebrow and fingers. :-) Sorry if it is not quite in focus, though it isn't bad considering it was taken with a compact cam as an experiment with the macro mod...
