Hospital specialising in Keratoconus in the SE

Postby dawny » Sun 04 Sep 2011 6:21 pm

My son has KC. He has been treated in a NHS hospital, which although caring, admits itself that it does not specialise in Keratoconus. I was wondering if it was ok to ask on here which hospitals specialise in KC. I could then ask for a referral to them. We are in the South East of England.

Of course it's okay to ask. Actually, I think you may find a number of hospitals in your area if you go to

http://www.keratoconus-group.org.uk/mem ... /index.php

This list does not specify if hospitals named actually specialize in KC care, but I am sure that there will be somebody along who can give more specific information. All the best

Hi Dawny,
In London there's Moorfields, and St Thomas's but the SE is a large area and there may be others that would be nearer to you. If you PM me or e-mail me anne@keratoconus-group.org.uk with more details, I might be able to help.
Anne
