Which NHS hospitals offer treatment?
Posted: Wed 15 May 2019 4:30 pm
Hello, My daughter has been diagnosed with Keratoconus in both eyes. One is apparently too bad for an operation but the other was due to be operated on today - May 15th. The consultant told us she needs to be operated on asap. Unfortunately, the Operation was cancelled without us being informed so we had a long travel to the hospital in vain. I am hoping to find out the following:
Which NHS hospitals offer the treatment?
Which hospitals offer private treatment?
How much (on average) is private treatment?
How quickly does/can the condition deteriorate?
If we find we are too late for this option to succeed, what else is open to us?
Sorry for a long list. I should add, my daughter is 34. She has Downs Syndrome with autistic tendencies, she has bi-lateral hearing loss and wears a BAHA (bone anchored hearing aid that transmits sound through bone conduction). Bearing all this in mind, it is vital to me that her sight is as good as we can keep it. I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.
