Urgent notice: NICE Crosslinking Consultation

Postby Anne Klepacz » Wed 01 Jul 2009 1:09 pm

We have just received notification that NICE (the body that approves new drugs and treatments for use in the NHS) is now consulting on the safety and efficacy of collagen crosslinking for keratoconus. The consultation period runs from 30th June to 28th July. If you have had crosslinking done in the past few years, whether in the UK or abroad, please do take part in this consultation. This of course, includes anyone who might have had a negative experience as well as those for whom it has been beneficial. People who haven't had crosslinking done but are interested in contributing to the consultation are also welcome to do so. Comments can be made via the NICE website www.nice.org.uk/ip724
