When I was an RGP wearer I used Quattro. Not easy to find on the High St but available at Post Optics on the internet. Some unqualified advice - whilst all in one solutions claim to do both the clean and storing jobs I still believe that using a cleaning solution in conjunction with a wetting soluti...

If anyone home bakes or knows somebody that does I hold many a qualifation in cake testing. I also do not charge.

CV available upon request to my agent, Mr Kipling.

It is now 12.26 a.m. and I fancy both cheescake and a massive glass of coke. Thank you ladies!

On a hungry stomach, with dribble running down my chin, goodnight.

On my fifth day of taking cetirizine and so far, so good. I hope I haven't spoken too soon. I even walked through the park today and didn't feel a sniffle... As for the drowsyness .... I am always tired so probably not the best one to advise on this. Have they made me any more lethargic? Certainly n...

I am starting to see why all these eye professors and scolars of the world haven't found any direct reason as to the cause of KC! Footnote: I have been trying to reduce my salt intake and reduce the amount of high fat foods. My eyes feel great today! Something else for you all to get your teeth into...

Also check that the lens hasn't lost shape. This may sound a little odd but I left mine in the sun in its case and it lost shape ever so slightly and didn't fit right. That was what I was told anyway! I might add it was the sun in Australia in 50 degree... Check the fitting before doing anything dra...

Very interesting case Lars. I learnt a thing or two there! Going back to diet - the more I come to think of it the more links I can associate with my own case. I spent 6 months in south east Asia 18 months ago living on a diet of rice, vegetables and fish mainly. All very healthy and natural. Anyway...

At the recent meeting at Moorfields someone raised a theory of nutrition and KC. Well, I have often claimed that my eyes feel a whole lot more 'alive' and the tear flow a lot better when wearing my lenses if I drink plenty of water throughout the day and I have noticed this even more so since I have...

I am sure you will find a solution for your daughter. My brother had problems with his eyes at 2 (albeit not KC and not in Australia) but after a bit of searching for the right Optom things began to get put into place. This was in the 80s I might add, so with the right support and guidance your daug...

By not trying is never a solution. Give sclerals a go. I have been wearing them for just over 4 motnhs now. Gradually the wear time is increasing but you have to be patient with them, as you do with any new contact lens. I can now wear mine for 6 hours, before I have to it take it out for 20 minutes...
