Thanks John. Understood.

Hi Tim I'm also pretty much a Newbie. I have scarring as well and thought this was not unusual for KC sufferers. Indeed when I have my regular check ups at Moorfields it is the reason given as to why the vision, particularly in my right eye, can't be improved upon by a change of lenses. I believe we...

Hi Andrew thanks for your welcome. I've always been aware that my condition could deteriorate but of course when it remains stable for over 30 years (I am 55 now) you think you are over the worst.

I have had to give up tennis recently because I could no longer play to the standard I was use...

Perhaps ignorance would have been bliss! However,I digress. My wife and I are independent distributors for a company called Forever Liv...

Ah ha
