I really like the little "eye" logo that the group uses, but wonder what people think would be a worthy motto for folk with Keratoconus?
My instinct was to suggest something in Latin, "Nil Desperandum" came to mind (means "There is no cause for despair " or "never despair", but idiomatically you could stretch it to "don't panic"). Then I thought that there must be a rich linguistic resource here; so any advance on Nil Desperandum?

I like that; you get double points for the neat pun.

The motto idea is a good one - but can we please steer clear of Latin.
Apart from the fact that I failed Latin "O" Level in quite a spectacular way, any motto needs to be easily understood by it's members and the rest of the Public alike. Sticking to plain English (we are after all a UK Society) would be best.

I re-read this post and it seemed "peevish". I have therefore deleted it. I think I set out to be funny but got it wrong. Mea culpa!
English is fine with me.

Sorry Andrew - what have you deleted? And which post do you think is peevish?
I'm now lost.
