I recently received amazing news that the research myself
and Barbican Insurance helped to support has been accepted as a presentation at
the American of Ophthalmology. It has proven to be an exceptional piece of work
that will open many new avenues for study and potentially for treatments.
Moorefield’s are also finalising their collection of over
3000 samples from individuals with keratoconus for submission as the largest
genetic study ever published in keratoconus. This is a once in a generation
opportunity, with collaboration between a number of international centres.
This has proven how important the Keratoconus Fundraising is
that I’m supporting. The more we continue to raise awareness, the more samples
can be added to this study, which will increase the power of the study!
The fundraising will continue and I’ll never give up, the
more support I can get behind me the better!
