Keratoconus: Yes, I have KC

Sleep issues, article related

Postby ilianandreev » Mon 05 Sep 2016 1:10 pm

Hello,

I've been having some sleep issues over the last few years (managed to handle them) but these were increased after reading this article:

https://www.reviewofophthalmology.com/a ... -textbooks

Because I wake up too often and I find myself trying to "protect" my eyes from pushing into the pillow and also wondering which position is safe to sleep in (I can't sleep on my back), the result is I can't get back to sleep. I know I might be getting a little paranoid about that but it just doesn't come off my head.

What do you think about the article and the issue involved (if there's any at all)?

I think that there are still many unknowns about KC.

"what happens to our older keratoconus patients?"

I've heard this before, it was mentioned at a KC group meeting a few years ago although the speaker didn't have an answer as to why they no longer appeared in his clinics.

"we observed a link between KC and obesity"

That's a new one on me! Another reason to encourage me to lose those excess pounds.
