UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Yes, Anne, the meeting on 21st in Moorfields is happening. It'll be a talk on some recent research (see Events) so should be interesting. Do come along.
In the meantime, I look forward to seeing the Mad Hatter crew in a few hours!

Hi Michael and welcome. Not much to add to what's been said already, except to say yes, 95% of rejections are reversed if they happen. But the quicker they're 'caught' the better the result. So it's important to get checked out if there's any change in the appearance of the eye or in the vision (eg ...

Hi Tom and welcome. My vision also deteriorated quite considerably after the stitches were taken out in my second grafted eye, so I know how disappointing that can be when you've initially had a better result. I now wear contact lenses for optimum vision, but do also have glasses which I wear in the...

But that's exactly what Marian is trying to achieve, so thank you very much Andrew for the information that it...

Excellent news Anne! We'll all be thinking of you and wishing you all the very best.

Hi Chris and welcome. As others have said, corneal grafts have developed a lot in the last few years. What's happened to your father is very unusual - we have a number of members who have had successful regrafts 20 or 30 yrs down the line, and others who still have the original graft 30 yrs on. And ...

Just to add that on my 'day off' from the Capital Ring Walk, I took part in this study and, like Louise, found it a very interesting and positive experience. It's all very relaxed and conversational, but I certainly found it made me think more deeply about all the issues. I'd certainly encourage oth...
