Edinburgh Eye Pavillion - has anyone been? I was there this week and would be interested in other people's view.

I have met one of the opthalmologists who works at the Eye Pavillion. He was the speaker at the last KC support group meeting in Glasgow.

I know that if you are recommended to wear contact lens you will probably be referred to an optometrist practice near Princes Street, because the hospital doesn't have their own contact lens department. One of the optometrists at that practice spoke at the last National KC conference. If you are a "Mail" member of the KC group you should be receiving a copy of the DVD of the conference and the latest newsletter soon. If you want to become a member of the KC group send me a PM with your details. I run the support group in Glasgow. We meet 2-3 times a year on a Saturday afternoon.
