Eye drops
Posted: Sun 22 Jul 2007 6:49 pm
Hi,
I hope i'm doing this right as I've never posted anything on anything before!
I recently went to Moorfields for laser eye surgery, and the consultant said I wasn't eligible as I may have Keratoconus. It was a huge shock as I'd never heard of it - and it had taken 6 years to save for the surgery and I wonder if I had laser surgery earlier it might have worked.
As I was so shocked I never thought to ask any questions but have found this site brilliant - thank you so much.
I would be very grateful if anyone could answer one more question - does anyone know if it is safe to use eye drops if you have Keratoconus? I regularly use moisturising, rewetting and anti allergy drops and didn't know if this could have caused it or could make things worse.
Many Thanks
Mary
