For my part, I am less likely to notice apostrophies that are absent than I am to notice apostrophies that are present in the wrong places.

The misplaced apostrophe is one of the aspects of the modern world that I dislike the most.

New Site Design

Well done on the new site design... The spectrum of treatment options that you put forward is also well concieved.
I remember when I was first diagnosed (six years ago) that the options I was presented with were few. So it is not before time that these procedures (some of which have been in existence for many years) are finally getting to the people that need them most.
Regards,
Hari Navarro

ps. There is just one other thing ... Why does this site continue to post the article regarding Prof. Lombardi and Mini ARK under the heading 'A cure for Keratoconus? Exercise caution!'?

To the casual viewer the concept of ARK is already tainted by the 'Exercise caution!' heading. It is as if there is something to fear from it.
The opposing opinion given is nothing more than that, opinion. Informed opinion yes but hardly subjective given that it is written by a contact lens specialist. I welcome this kind of discussion but I question the placing of it as a feature article.

Excellent work guys.

I noticed it when I sneaked on whilst away on holiday and being the dimbo that I am thought this was because I was logging on outside the UK!

Hi All,

I haven't visited the site for a while, so it was a bit of a surprise when I arrived today and saw all the new fancy things.

I have had a good look and I have to say I am very impressed. It is so easy to find one's way round it and I love the flags.

Well done to all concerned I admire your patience and skills.

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter and congratulations Sweet on the arrival of your nephew.

Take care,

Lesley.x

ps how about a list of the abbreviations people use, there must be others like me who get a bit confused sometimes.
Live long and Prosper.

The problem I have with the abbreviations is that I often hit the wrong keys, so that I might confuse everybody by posting KIK instead of LOL. When this hqppens with words people can often work out what I might hqve meqnt (Sorry)

But, Sweet, thank you for your exposition of the meaning of the abbreviations.
