Tommy,
I can't see Keratoconics needing contact lenses as growth industry, do you? KC is too rare to consider commercial exploitation as a motive for not curing it.

Your probley right on the contacts thing but desisions are being made that arn't in the best interest for KC'ers the nhs hospital i used to be under told me last month that the nhs had pulled the funding on laser correction for post graft patients two years ago, which is just a slap in the face really when keratoconus shouldn't be treated with penetrating keratoplastys anyway, like i said there many things but just pure ignorance towards our disease by the nhs is the main thing.

Stu,
Go to the website at the start of this thread, there are whole forums dedidcated to C3-R.
I myself ahave decided to go forward with both Intacs and C3-R and am doing it privately so that I can have good vision when it counts (I'm 30 and have a few things I want to do in the next decade). My simple thoguht is that I want to manage KC and not have KC manage me, which with contacts that is exactly whats happening.
