eye closing during photo's

Postby debby dennis0 » Thu 27 Dec 2007 11:19 pm

hi,
I've had to re register as had problems with my computer, i have posted previously. i have been told i have mild KC but worse in my right eye. i get by using glasses and contact lens the bad one is made at the hospital, at the moment the left one i get from optician.
i was looking at some photos taken of me recently and have noticed that in every photo my left eye, my better eye is either closed or nearly closed. My bad eye looks normal. I wondered whether this is part of KC or whether it's just me being debby? thanks.

Debbie...

Does the eye seem partly closed to anyone looking at you? Sometimes one tends to close eyes when a flash is used as its a reaction to excess light. If the lid seems to droop all the time, then you really need that looking at, especially if it didn't do this in the past.

Welcome back!

I really do not have anything to add to Lynn's post, except to say that my general rule is that if there is something worrying you, it is best to let someone have a look at it! (If I put my mind to it, I think I could find a snappier way of putting that, but I am tired 8) )

All the best

Andrew
