I managed to get my story re: KC in the local newspaper, The Barnet Press, which included a reference to this Group at the end.

Download the attached, although you may need to print it off to make it clear to read.

An excellent article and something to publicise this group! I am very happy for you in getting scleral lenses! I tried them but couldn't get the hang of them at all!!! Too many air bubbles that I couldn't see to get rid of! I also had better vision with my RGP so decided to go back to what I knew.

Just wanted to ask if you would like us to post this article on our home page under the section 'Members Voices'? This is where we can add stories from members and interesting KC articles! If you would like this, we would need to talk to the newspaper to ask their permission though I would suspect that they wouldn't mind as they would like the advertising!

Hoping to hear from you soon! Love Claire X x X
