Re: Update on blog
Sorry to hear about your continuing headaches. Have you discussed them with your ophthalmologist?
All the best

Re: Update on blog
Have you had a new Display Screen Equipment assessment?
You never know that might throw up a few things to raise with your consultant when you next see him.

Re: Update on blog
Hi GarethB,
I just joined this website today after researching it. I am so interested in more information on Keratoconus and inserts C3-R. Is there any other further websites you can direct me to. I am suffereng with this condition and am in need of major relief.
Please reply. Thank you!

Re: Update on blog
Sorry to hear abuot the headaches.
Where are they? - behind the eyes, front of the head, right across the top, back of the head and down the back of your neck, or...?
It sounds like the computer could be a factor. Have you tried changing the colour scheme so less of the screen is lit up? - or even getting some software to change colours/enlarge/etc at the touch of a hot key?
DO also watch your posture carefully - craning you head over the desk to read the screen at just THAT right angle may be easier for reading, but won't help with the sort of headaches coming from tense necks and shoulders.
Good luck with getting it sorted out.

Re: Update on blog
The headaches are around my eyes and temples. I have done another workstation assessment when I went back and I have dimmed the contrast of the screen and brightness.

Re: Update on blog
That sounds like headaches from eye problems, whether bright light or just blurred vision, rather than crick-in-the-neck headaches....... I am not a doctor, as they may say on some parts of the internet.
Another possibility apart from the bright light is that you're just having difficulty with eyesight that is different in each eye and isn't what you're used to. That is, your brain is not used to combining THIS level of vision from your own eye as always, and THAT level of vision from your newly grafted eye.
This may improve as you get used to it, or as the grafted eye settles down, and eventually when it is stable enough to be corrected.
Good luck and hope things improve soon.
