Transplant general information

Postby Andrew MacLean » Tue 18 Apr 2006 3:51 pm

I found this during a routine visit to another KC site

http://www.nkcf.org/transplant.html

For some it is all very well known, for others it may be of great interest.

Andrew this is a really good article for those new to having a graft done! Thinking that we should add it to our articles page on the new site!! Although John will need a copyright to add to it. :lol:

I agree that it is one of the most helpful articles I have come across.
I think that the souce is The National Keratoconus Foundation

On that back of Andrews post; I would recommend people sign up to the NKCF as they have a really good global newsletter which is a must read for all KC sufferers. The current edition covers various areas of Corneal Transplants...and the Ask A Question section is very informative.....(Newsletter is Postal sent from USA)....

Off the site, email Cathy Warren (really pleasant and well informed lady) and she'll add you to there list; further to address confirmation...or just go here and email them with details as asked
