Take a look in the members' sectionof the site. There is a list of "KC friendly" opticians there.

If you lived in Glasgow I'd know exactly what to advise, but I am afraid that I have no knowledge of the situation in London.

All the very best.

C3R, or CXL as it is no to be called, can under some circumstances give good results. The problem is that only an ophthalmologist can make a determination about your suitability for this procedure.

Whom do you see just now? Why not ask at your next appointment. In the meantime, read as much as you can about the procedure so that you have an idea of what questions you want to ask when you see your ophthalmologist.
