Keratoconus on songs of praise

Postby tneedham » Sun 07 Feb 2010 5:23 pm

Go Matilda

There is a small section on a medical student called Matilda who has KC in todays Songs of praise 07.02.10. You should be able to watch it on BBCi player soon

She does a very good job of explaining the difficulties we go through and how she copes with them in a very short bit of airtime.
And also that she cant "just wear glasses".

Great little bit of exposure.
