The truth shall set you free

Tommy,
I can't see Keratoconics needing contact lenses as growth industry, do you? KC is too rare to consider commercial exploitation as a motive for not curing it.

Your probley right on the contacts thing but desisions are being made that arn't in the best interest for KC'ers the nhs hospital i used to be under told me last month that the nhs had pulled the funding on laser correction for post graft patients two years ago, which is just a slap in the face really when keratoconus shouldn't be treated with penetrating keratoplastys anyway, like i said there many things but just pure ignorance towards our disease by the nhs is the main thing.

Hi Tom, i think what you are saying is very interesting, you mentioned that you have read some research on C R3 treatment, could you please point me in the right direction as i would like to have a read.

Stu,

Go to the website at the start of this thread, there are whole forums dedidcated to C3-R.

I myself ahave decided to go forward with both Intacs and C3-R and am doing it privately so that I can have good vision when it counts (I'm 30 and have a few things I want to do in the next decade). My simple thoguht is that I want to manage KC and not have KC manage me, which with contacts that is exactly whats happening.
