What actually causes sensitivity to light?
Hi all, I just wanted to know, what aspect of KC actually causes the sensitivity to light? Is it because the cornea gets thinner over time which lets more light in, or is it because of the changing shape of the cornea? I recently had CXL done and I notice that some days the treated eye feels sensiti...

Re: Corneal Haze from Cross-linking
Hi Hayley, Still blurred vision unfortunately with not much difference so far, but I'm due to see my consultant this week for the post-4 week check up, so he may well identify hazing on the cornea for me as well.

Corneal Haze from Cross-linking
Hello, I underwent a cross-linking procedure last week which mostly went ok - the pain has gone and the eye has more or less healed. However, it's been indicated to me by my consultant that I might have a corneal haze over the eye. My vision is very blurred and hasn't improved at all in the last few...

Glasses to Contact Lenses
Hi all, I was diagnosed with KC in both eyes about 6 months ago and was first told I had an astigmatism about 2 1/2 years ago. Since that time I have been wearing glasses with relatively few problems. I have had to have an increasing prescription more or less every 6 months, but on the whole glasses...
