Keratoconus and other eye conditions

[rosemary johnson]

Good news for your recent tea companion that she was actually diagnosed with the other conditions.
I sometimes wonder, once we get onthe "KC system treadmill", how easy it is to concentrate on the KC and miss anything else amiss.

Unfortunately, bosses like that are all too common.

[Andrew MacLean]

Just after I became unable to wear lenses and had become, therefore, legally blind I went with some American friends on a trip through the highlands. the driver wanted to stop at the head of a glen, and had intended to pull into a little car park.

Over the winter the old entrance to the car park had evidently been washed away, so another entrance had been created. My friend who was driving missed it and had driven some way along a single track road before realizing the mistake.

The road was windey, so it was decided that it would be safer to turn. The mini bus could turn in a passing place, but my friend would need somebody to let her know when she was getting too close to the edge of the road because there was a steep drop just beyond the road .. what another friend calls a "deep ditch" two hunderd and fifty feet to the floor of the glen.

The bold Andrew lept out of the mini bus, unfolded his white stick to find the edge of the road and proceded to give directions. those who could see described the look on the faces of other drivers as they watched this odd little drama being worked out. Blind man calling "little bit further ..." Driver obeying his instructions.

I am not sure which of us was more daft.
