Re: Transepithelial C3R

Hi Mo, Sorry I haven't had this done though I would like to, I suppose from what I've read there is less evidence but it is less risky and beneficial. I do love his website, well at least one of them ( http://www.keratoconusinserts.com/about.htm . One of Dr. Brian's special qualities is that althoug...

Hi Kostis,

Have you tried "piggybacking" a hard lens on a soft lens in your right eye?

Re: Opinion on KC from Greece

Hi Kostis, I can't comment over the specialists you've seen. I'm a complete layman. I would say from what I've read Kanellopoulos is really up there with the best in the world, but I have also heard of bad results with INTACS. Part of you (like me) I'll guess is thinking give it a shot but in the re...

Re: Opinion on KC from Greece

Hi Kostis, Was one of the places you went http://www.laservision.gr/ (from what I understand they are very, very specialist in this condition)? Have you tried piggy backing hard on to soft lenses (partly works for me)? I'm pretty much in exactly the same situation as you. Though my left needs a soft...

Re: Best Doctors for Collagen Cross Linking

I'm not expert (so take everything with a large dose of salt, I might be reading it wrongly) but I got a little update on the NHS guidance on CXL from the NICE website recently (updated on the 5th of Dec 2012, I added the formatting). Photochemical corneal cross linkage using riboflavin and ultravio...

Re: Warm compresses, and keratoconus

I'm not sure about the specifics of using warm compresses really. One thing that stopped me getting as many styes was hearing that Staphylococcus from your nose could cause more. So though I get a runny nose a fair bit (deviated septum) I really don't "re-use" the same tissue and that has ...

Re: Athens Protocol Pre-consultation questions

Hi Davros, I'm a bit similar, though you have way more thickness than me, my bad eye is ~350! I have been over to see Dr Cummings, initially to see about Keraflex for my bad eye. Never got a procedure in the end but I can say he was very honest. The unfortunate thing is currently most KC procedures ...
