Day 2 at GFE got crazy with people visiting and needing to line up to wait for the FREE vision tests. We apologise for the wait, but Optometrist Alicia Hartman offered a more detailed examination and follow-up while Alison Bishop continued consultations, vision tests, and counselling The patient advocates listened to stories about the KC journey some persons who visited are on. All in our small booth, so we will need another opportunity for screening. More on this soon. Great meeting so many, and thanks again for all your questions on keratoconus.
