UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

I had my pre-theatre yesterday for my cataract surgery.

All set for Wednesday, Feb 14. Local anesthetic, in and out on the same day. They will correct the position of my PK in the same eye and I can aticipate being able to wear normal specs, rather than these very expensive ones with the high correction for astignatism.

But the really good news came with my DALK eye. For the first time since surgery in October I was able, with correction, to read down to the third line.

Things are looking up.

Thanks to everyone for the support I was given over all this. I shall let you know how things go next week.

That's really good news. Hope all goes well next week - will be thinking of you. (been there - got the T-shirt!)
Do you know what type/power of lens your surgeon will be inserting?

We spoke about the types of lens that were available, but I didn't see him again after I had finished biometrics. I'll find out the answer on Wednesday when I turn up for the operation.
