Hi All
I gave a lecture last week in Manchester and a researcher into Keratoconus asked if knew anyone with keratoconus who would volunteer for a few measurements as part of a research project.
He is researching into the distortions (Higher Order Aberrations) produced by the keratoconic cornea and needs around three more volunteers. It involves around an hour and a half of time and having topography measured and also eye aberrations.
This sort of research is very valuable as it feeds into contact lens and surgery research with a view to improving visual results using wavefront technology. It has to be non grafted/non surgical eyes with minimal scarring as the idea is to see what the "normal" aberrations are of a keratoconic eye.
Anyone who is interested, please contact me and I will put you in contact with the researcher.

don't let the people that mean nothing to you get you down, because in the end they are worth nothing to you, they are just your obstacles in life to trip you up!

Just bumping this up ...
plus many thanks for those who have shown interest so far.
It is incredibly difficult for any researcher into KC to get subjects - so thanks for all who are helping the Manchester team out.
It will ultimately help ALL KCers
