Thanks for your reply Anne :)

DALK (partial thickness) was not offered on the NHS only the full PK (jad a NHS appointment when diagnosed then as have PMI with work booked an appointment with The Sight Centre) Healing times are much slower with PK and PK is an option if DALK does not work. More options the better as always with these things :)

Best wishes
Kate

Now I am confused. DALK not on offer on the NHS?

Where?

By the way the healing time after my DALK was way longer than for the PK (I had PK first in my right eye and then DALK in my left).
