Eye rubbing

[Andrew MacLean]

Or both!

Ah yes I can just picture it at the conference, a table with fridge magnets, bars of chocolate [this could be a real fundraiser!].
Perhaps we might persuade Moorfields optoms to give us chocolate at each appt, purely for medicinal purposes of course

"Patients with keratoconus are significantly more likely to have mental disorders than patients without the condition,"

You dont think they're talking about the amount of Fruit & NUT I consume to help me with my KC do you?!

[Louise Pembroke]

I can see a paper here some research into chocolate and it's affect on the mental state of patients with KC. Who wants to be a research subject?!

[Andrew MacLean]

It would be just like the thing for me to be given the "chocolate flavoured icing" placebo, while everybody else got the real Belgian Chocolate hit

[Louise Pembroke]

Don't worry Andrew I'll put my white coat on [the scientific condition] and wangle it so you are in the real thing group!

[Andrew MacLean]

Okay, I'll sign up for the research.

I always rub my eyes when i get the urge to my surgeon sys i must try and stop before i have transplant, i am an allergy suffer so my eyes itch quite regurly due to this and cnnot wear my contact as often as i like in my left eye even though my surgeon has prescibed with opatonal eye drops to help with my allergy symtoms they help a little with the symptoms so that i can occasionally wear my rgp lens but when tiered i find that i get the urge to itch them even more would i be able to use hypromellose or would i have to check with a doc also can you by it over the counter or get it on prescribtion

[Louise Pembroke]

You can get hypromellose across the counter and your GP can prescribe it. I find keeping a bottle in the fridge and beside my bed during the hayfever season helpful. I just flood the eye as soon as it starts to feel itchy. It should be ok but do check it out to be sure
