Hello All,

I suffer from KC as you may have guessed but this gives me hope.. is this something KC sufferers will be able to benefit from?

I have been following this story, too. It is my earnest hope that this will lead to an ultimate source of help for people with Keratoconus. At the moment we are still a distance from that happy day, but there is hope!

Another programme would enable scientists to grow bespoke corneas in the lab.
