Opticians

Postby KIRST » Thu 18 Aug 2011 12:29 pm

Hi Everyone,

Well, following my last post where I was discussing my options and the fact I didn't think specsavers were any good for me, I have now found an optician who specialises in KC!!!

I did a little research and found a local opticians who have over 30 patients in the area with KC - she even told me she was surprised my consultant at the eye clinic hadn't mentioned them and referred me direct to them.

They have lots of different lenses I can try includung roseK lenses. The also have a fantastic after care plan for hospital patients.

The best news is, there is a branch just up from my work (they only have the 2) which will cut down in my travel time for appints as I can fit it in when at work!!

So I have made an appoint for next (at eye clinis on Tuesday) and hopefully will get on a bit better.

How sad to be excited over an eye test lol!!!

Not sad at all; good news and excitement are natural friends.

All the best with your appointment.

Every good wish.

Brilliant!! Hoping that you get on well with them, sounds like they are going to be able to try you with different lenses and it is nearer to you!!
