Keraflex - Is This the Answer

Postby centurion » Sun 08 May 2011 11:33 am

Hi

I've just joined the forum as I suffer from PMD although I was originally diagnosed with CK.I'm currently wearing scleral lens but have been told to reduce the wear time down to 2 days per week as blood vessels wear growing towards my cornea which apparently isn't good news.

Like many sufferers of eye disease i continually search the net for possible cures to my condition and I came acroos a new treatment that maybe suitable in the future called Keraflex and wondered if anyone knows anything about it . Although it it is not fully developed yet it appears to look promising but I'm not an eye specialist so was wondering if anyone knew about it .

I have posted a link to the website

http://www.avedro.com/

P.S If anyone knows of a good alternative to scleral lens please let me know

Would you by any chance know the costs involved?
