What to ask - next Hospital Appt
Posted: Wed 23 May 2007 3:17 pm
It has just dawned on me that I'm back to Moorfields next week (where on earth has this year gone so far!) for my 6 month visit to the consultant - (as well as the contact lens clinic when I hope they are going to try and fit my right eye with a lens too.)
As the last (and first) time I went to see the consultant (well, not that I actually saw him!) , I didn't have a clue what the problem was (just had the symptoms) and left the hospital after some 5 hours somewhat shell-shocked with no real idea what having Keratoconus meant - certainly didn't know how to spell it - I asked almost nothing! I have gained a lot of knowledge since from this site - thanks to all of you - but now find I am not really sure what I should be asking when I go next week. Any thoughts? I don't really know how bad it is, what shape/where my "cones" are - or do I have "droopy boobs"! (Don't attempt to answer that one ) So presumably I really ought to ask about that - but what else?
And another rather stupid question which hopefully someone can help me with - should I turn up with my lenses in or not?
Any ideas gratefully received!
