Re: Incidence of KC in families

Hello there! I was diagnosed with KC aged 14 and my identical twin sister was diagnosed 7 years later. I have had a corneal graft, but my sister hasn't. There is nobody else apart from my sister who have KC and we have completed the genetics study at Moorfields. This took a lot of encouragement as m...

Re: Dua's layer discover exciting new part of the eye!!!

It was really amazing to find an article written in the Metro which we read on the way to the forum! It was even better when I informed two of the speakers about it and was told by one of them how brilliant it was to come to our group as a professional and learn something new from us!! Wow!! It does...

Re: Charlotte's patch

Aww lovely patch, will be brilliant with loads of sparkles!!!!

Hoping that Charlotte's eye is healing well, it sounds like it is on the right track. Being sensitive to light is awful but it does settle down.

Take care, love Claire Xxx

Re: New to forum

Hi Nelzkhan, lovely to have you here. It is hard when deciding about having a graft, it's good to read up on it so that you feel more prepared and able to decide what you want. I definitely didn't want to have surgery, but in the end I wasn't able to wear a lens in my good eye because of an ulcer so...

Re: Corneal graft (hopefully a DALK) on thursday.

So glad that it all went well! I had a DALK 8 years ago, though it seems like only yesterday! A lot of friends here have got really good vision which is brilliant! Hoping yours goes as well too. Mine went well but my vision hasn't really improved. This is because I have a lot of scarring which is st...

Re: Piggyback user problems.

Moorfields told me that it is quite common! Very painful is all I can say and having done it in exactly the same place twice I am trying very hard not to do it again!! I honestly thought that the shape of my eye had changed and I needed a new lens fitting. I know they tell you that piggy backing can...

Re: Bad decision

Andrew,

Brilliant, sounds like you had a great time! Just think of all the rest your eye had without a lens so it wasn't so bad :D

Sorry I haven't been here for a while, am sinking with work :( Hope to talk to you soon, love Claire Xxx
