i got KC in my left eye, but in the last few day i some times have black lines flash past my right eye. any suggestions on what it is? is that mild form of KC passing in to my right eye?

The flash is probably just part of a distorted image you are looking at due to the way KC beds light all over the shop and your brain is making the best interpretation.

I've ahd a couple of grafts and see what we call floaters and occasionally it looks like a load of spiders running across the floor which I know it isn't.

Unless it is casuing problems I would ignore it for now but mention it at your next consultation.

Gavin

I am pretty sure that Gareth is right.

When do you next see your ophthalmologist?
