left or right?

Postby Lesley Foster » Tue 27 Mar 2007 11:00 pm

Reading through the posts I notice that a lot of people say their left eye is the one most affected by KC.

My left eye is my worse eye and I wondered if this is the case with most of us and if so has anyone got an explanation as to why that might be? :?

No explanation I'm afraid - but interesting. My left eye is worse too.

Any correlation with being left or right-handed I wonder? I am predominantly the latter although I do do certain things the left-handed way.

I am right handed and my right eye was the earliest eye to be worst affected.

Sorry if that skews your results. It also meant that I was blinder earlier because my right eye is dominant.

My right eye was the first to devlop KC and the first to be grafted and the one that redeveloped the KC.

So I think that means my right eye is most definitly the worst!
