giphotostock Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Should be of interest to most lay readers, but it is fairy basic introduction for those the skilled in the art. There are a couple of minor inaccuracies, including may favorite pet peeve, photo of glasses and an eye chart: what's shown is physically impossible. That becomes very obvious to anyone who has a pair of glasses and a spare minute. ) GI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyn Llun Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I find any articles on the human eye interesting as I have a long - standing vested interest. With severe Keratoconus I have to endure more eye tests - and more eyeball prodding - than most. Whenever I go to my optician or see the opthalmic consultant at the hospital and am asked to read the chart, we always laugh because they know my reply will be, "what chart"? I have had three operations so far and am waiting for the appropriate time to have a cornea transplant. Luckily my lifetime interest in optics - through photography - has given me some useful knowledge, so when my surgeon talks to me in technical language he knows I understand. I'm lucky to have been looked after by a wonderful optician for many years who monitors my eyes with care and the same consultant opthalmic surgeon does the operations and sees me personally for follow-ups.

If you have not already, talk to your surgeon about corneal cross-linking and the work that Avedra is doing. Could be better than a transplant even when it is done with a laser (ie IEK, etc).
