About the Discussion Forum
The Discussion Forum aims to provide a safe place for people with keratoconus (an eye condition affecting the cornea) and their relatives to share their experiences and help each other with the challenges of living with keratoconus. It is not, however, a substitute for professional advice and you should consult a relevant professional before making any decisions that could affect you or others.

The Forum is operated by the Keratoconus Group, a charity run, and led, by volunteers. In order that the Forum can continue as a safe place for keratoconics and their relatives to engage in discussion, we request that you abide by the terms and conditions of Forum use below. These are based on best practice of online charity health fora and take immediate effect.
