**YOUR HELP**

I am looking to do a small survey of people arriving at this site to find out if certain tints improve the vision of those with Keratoconus. Personally, a yellow tint on sunglasses improves my vision dramatically, expecially with computer work. If this is the same for you, or if other tints improve your vision, please do leave a comment somewhere on the site or email me using the tab on the right so I can collect the information to present on my next visit to Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. Alternsatively, if there are other non-contact lens things you have found improve your vision, please also let me know what these are and we can expand the survey to include them. I hope that this will result in a standard way of improving vision with Keratoconus for all of us, so please do help! Cheers!

Welcome to Keratoconus Info

Type Keratoconus into Google and you get a few hundred sites, most of which are so technical as to be no help at all or so simplistic they d0 not tell you anything at all. When I was diagnosed with the condition ten years ago, there was very little resource for me to find out about the condition. Even now, the options for those newly diagnosed are very limited. Likewise, for long-time sufferers, there is a lack of websites where the latest developments relating to the condition can be discussed alongside the problems people encouner. My hope is that this site will be a base for discussion on any topic relating to Keratoconus, while being a easy-to-use and understand resource for sufferers of the condition.

The site is divided up into sections for ease of use:

• News: Here I shall post any links or information that I encounter concerning Keratoconus
• Keratoconus: A definition and explanation of the condition summarised from a variety of sources. Spot a mistake or wish to add anything? Just email me.
• Lenses: The treatment for Keratoconus is primarily contact lenses. These come in all sizes and all types. I have been through a fair few of them. This list aims to be as comprehensive as I can but please point out any missing types and email me a brief explanation so I can add it
• Hydrops: This is a rare complication with Keratoconus, but one that does happen occasionally. There is very little information about it out on the web that is understandable so I have summarised what I have learnt through my own experience.
• Corneal Graft: If your Keratoconus advances to the point where the options for contact lens correction have been exhausted, you may find yourself needing a Corneal Transplant. This section explains what, exactly, that is.
• My Experience: I have very advanced Keratoconus and my hope is that by reading through my experiences you will get some insight into the condition and can learn from my mistakes or through things that I have gone through
• Links: A list that I hope will become comprehensive of Keratoconus sites around the world, be them support groups, lens maufacturers, or practitioners
