UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

This is one area where science kind of disappoints me. They can transplant hearts and reattatch limbs but we still suffer with these eye problems. I know they are working on it and have made some headway but how much longer till they find an absolutely succesful treatment. Obviously no one knows but...

I'm guessing that smoking doesn't help the eyes out at all? I smoke but i want to quit. I know its not diet related but its surely not good for the eyes, as we all know its bad for ya anyhow

Yes John and others are technically right that strictly optoms cannot diagnose, only recognise

I was diagnosed by an optom, i've never seen a specialist, should i ask to see one?

I think that is Corneal Crosslinking? http://www.keratoconus-group.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=731 I wonder if this procedure is gona spread? I mean if more people are going to learn to do it and it may become mainsream? I really hope that it does and that its safe in the long run. That would be aw...

When looking at my computer monitor, when i have my lenses in, it looks like the right side of the screen is higher than the left, like the left side slants down. I don't have that issue when i wear my glasses so i am not sure if my glasses are to blame or my lenses. If i close my right eye, it goes...

i aske dmy doc if i could get one but she told me that i shouldnt get one as if im ever in a situation where i dont have it, that i wouldnt know howto get them out without it. I really wanted one as i still have trouble taking it out, the nurses theer couldnt show me as they've never seen sclerals b...

I use Boston Simplus all in one

Finally went in for another fitting on my sclerals. My doctor up and left the practice where I go i guess and now I have a new doctor. Apparently he didn't leave much as far as notes and such on my lenses and stuff so they are pretty much clueless now. I dont like my new doctor, she didnt even intro...

I hope when i go for my next refit that my lenses fit good and i can get on. Still wondering though if scleral lenses are supposed to be completly clear as in no tinge? Its kind of awkward handling them when you can hardly see them and it was a bit easier when i had my old corneal RGP's because they...
