UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

I know a lot people do say they're affected by them. I've never had a problem with them so not really aware of it. Technically, they have a much better cut-off, less stray light, than incandescent lights and by law they have too be self-adjusting. The few problems I've had have been with ill-adjuste...

Ali, I'd hardly say I was bitter or angry as you suggest or that I'm failing to get on with my life. I'd suggest you read the whole of this thread and posts I have made to other threads. You'll see I've no idea whether lenses were a factor in my KC. The point I have made is that I find it hard to un...

Answer is to not go to bed Anne. Then you'll be there early enough to get the best seats.

The westernised diet is acid but a healthy diet should be alkali hence the high toxicity you refer to. Sajeev in his posts has pointed out that the incidence of KC in the Asian community is 4 times higher than the white community. Presumably there would be a less westernised diet among British Asia...

I get multple images and star-bursts at night in my dodgy eye but not glare as such and surprising how the brain relies on the good eye and ignores most of the rubbish. I also specified xenons on recent car. Haven't had them before but they are remarkably good. They are self-levelling so hope they d...

Can see the top letter only with contacts?

How far down the chart can you see Jayboi? Did you say you were having trouble reading the board at college with contacts?

The decision will always be with you. If you can't get the vision you want with contacts there may come a time when youdecide to try something else.

I'm a bit surprised if you can see better with your old glasses. I'd be tempted to go back and have them check just in case. My sister recently picked up her first ever pair of specs from Boots. She found she could hardly see a thing. Took them back and they found they given her someone else's presc...

Gareth and Alison, I hope you get some help with it as I don’t think it’s always understood how debilitating, or physically painful, photophobia can be. Gareth did you say somewhere that you had a cataract? I think the scattering of light that causes often causes photophobia. I’m told...

It may just be possible that badly fitting non gas-permeable hard lenses could have caused KC in a small number of patients, but it is rather academic now really, dont you think? Ali, I’m sure you didn’t mean it in quite that way, but it could seem incredibly smug and dismissive for someo...
