Hi everyone:)

Thanks James lol

Yeah as James said, just found out I had KC the other week there, the opticians didn't really tell me much about it, just said I had rugby shape eyes instead of perfect circle shape and that I should be ok as I wear contacts already.

:D

Welcome to the forum. Maybe you will manage to Scottish KC group meetings too , if you live near Glasgow. I'm sure that James has told you about them too.

If you want to go on the mailing list send me a PM (personal message) with your details - address and e-mail (PS dont put this info on the website as it will be viewed by the world) Elizabeth
