C3R

Postby itansey » Thu 20 Nov 2008 2:02 pm

Hi,

I've had Keratoconus in my left eye for the last ten years or so and currently there's no sign of it in my right eye. I only have a mild case of it in my left eye but i'm considering getting C3R done on it.

Does anyone have any direct experience of this procedure, is it useful and worth the money. I'm a patient of the centre for sight in London. Thanks for you help in advance.

Ian

If you do decide to go ahead with CXL, I am sure that we all wish you well.

Does the London Centre for Sight offer this procedure?

Hi

I am getting it done by David Jury on next thuresday ... I will update you once its done ....

I personally think its worth it .

I have one eye very bad and I wish I had done it when i started .

Take Care
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives

Yes, the centre for sight in london offers this procedure and its covered under BUPA.

Let me know how your procedure goes, i'm very interested. The reason i want to get it done is because i don't want the Keratoconus to get any worse in my left eye and i also want to prevent it occuring in my right eye which is clear of KC at the moment - prevention is better than cure.

Thanks,

Ian
