Hi to all , this a great site and has helped me understand what i will be experiencing on the 26th of May 2010. I will keep you guys posted on how everything goes and my progress.

A bit of my History 

I have had mild KC since the age of 15 (Now 33) , but have managed to obtain 20 / 20 vision with the aid of glasses / soft torric lenses. About 4 years ago my vision in my right eye droped dramatically and the glasses or torric lenses now provide me with 20/200 vision at best . The next stage for me was to try a hybrid soft/hard lense which help me achieve vision of 20/50. The problem i now have is i can only wear the lense for about 2 hours before it starts to scrape my eye and become un bearable.

My choice of treatment;

Having done some research I went for a consultation at  accuvision (London) who provide a technique which will help in stopping the progress of my KC (Cross Linking (CL)) but also try to improve the shape of cornea using a laser ( T-CAT Accuwave™ Topography Guided Custom Ablation Treatment) The aim here is to also improve visual acuity.

My consultation was very good and i was told that my bad eye can be successfully treated with a combination of CL and T-CAT and that my good eye should only require CL. I have decided to go ahead with the treatment in my bad eye.

My corneal thickness was ;

Right Eye - 484
Left Eye(Good Eye) - 515


I will keep you guys posted, with results. Lets hope i can get some good vision with specs or soft contact lenses again
