UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Many thanks Chris! I do hope others in the Manchester area will join you in volunteering. Supporting any research into keratoconus is something that's very important for the KC Group. Some of us took part in a research study in London a few years ago and found out a lot more about our own KC as a re...

John - yes, whatever you did has fixed the problem of getting different screen versions all the time. Thank you! Speed is a bit slower, but that's a small price to pay. My one regret now is that we seem to have lost the brilliant legibility of the old forum. I find the white on red at the top of the...

Those clinics which don't have their own contact lens departmen...

Having a corneal transplant can give a slightly increased risk of developing a cataract, and a handfu...

So that's why you had to get the new version done by this weekend! Happy birthday!

Yes - I was really sad that Louise didn't manage to get funding for what was going to be a great conference, and would have been relevant for much more than KC. But I'm sure we can pick up at least some of those ideas, and I'm sure lots of people will have contributions to make. And we've got almost...
