KC Consultant Recommendations

Postby ka140731 » Tue 05 Aug 2014 4:05 pm

Hi All,

I was diagnosed with KC 18 years ago. I was initially under Sophie Harper @ Manchester Royal Eye Hospital, then moved to London and saw Mr Bailey on Harley St.
Mr Bailey performed the collagen cross linking on both eyes in 2008. Since then vision has been stable. I went back to Sophie Harper at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital.

I have recently moved to Chester.

Can anyone suggest any NHS KC consultants who work at Countess of Chester or Wrexham Maelor Hospital?

I see on this forum's list there is a lady at Wrexham Maelor - Ms Julia Melling FBDO(Hons)CL

Thanks,

Mr Alexander

Hi and welcome,
Yes, Julia Melling sees KC patients at Wrexham. Alternatively, there's also a good contact lens department at St Paul's Eye Unit in Liverpool, though that's obviously a bit further for you.
