My brother has keratoconus and need urgent DALK surgery. We live in Russia, and unfortunatly here we have big problems with donor material.
Thus we consider doing this surgery in UK. Could anyboby please reccomend any clinic or doctor that specialized in DALK?

Thank you in advance,
Anastasia.

Hi there Anastasia

Sorry to hear your brother's in such a situation. Sourcing donor material isn't that difficult in the UK (and also mainland Europe too) but it must be even more daunting to have to travel for treatment outside your homeland.

On a public website such as this, we tend not to give personal recommendations, but I have sent you a private message with details of centres of excellence here in the UK who might be good places to start.

Best wishes

Chris
