Greetings

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post, I am a sufferer of KC and have been for about 10 years. My condition is not as bad as some of the stories I have read here on this forum (I have been lurking for a few weeks without posting) but the KC still gives me problems.

My KC is not too severe and I manage relatively well with the Softperm lenses in both eyes. With the lenses in my vision is very good, without them in I can see okay with my left eye, although the right sees only blur. My main problem is intolerance with the lenses - and the widely mentioned "bad eye days".

I just want to say thanks for all the information on this forum and for the advice and suggestions made by the forum members - this has given me a much better understanding of KC, lenses and everything else.

I'll try not to lurk so much in future and hopefully post a lot more (and probably in time tell my full story)

Lock

Hi Lock and welcome!

Good to hear you see quite well with your lenses, tolerance is a funny thing isn't it.

Ah well maybe 2006 will bring with it advances in science that can help here.

Glad your not 'lurking' anymore, without my lenses in I would have fallen over you.

Susan
