none i know of.... however we can all protect our eyes from damage such as scarring and ulcers by following a good hygiene routine, and by listening to your eyes... if they are sore- take the lenses out etc...

Also, have a look at a thread on this forum called 'Will we get feedback from this conference?' posted on 27th May 2010 (with apologies for not knowing how to post a link to it!) It gives some useful tips from an eminent US scientist on how to look after our corneas.

as mentioned if your eyes are sore try not to wear your lenses, nothing can be done via diet/exercise etc to stop the progression of KC but scars can make the condition worse.

this is not easy however, my eyes are sore most days but i need to work and have a life so i just persist!
