I got CXL in my left eye in June, all very suddenly after I went for my first pentoxam which showed my cornea only just still thick enough to perform the op.
I am scheduled to do my right eye privately in January, something which I am very apprehensive about.
My left eye vision is so bad that if I close the right I am essentially partially sighted.
I am self employed and I’m worried that the operation could risk rendering me permanently visually impaired and unable to work or drive!
My right eye is so good that I can still legally drive unaided without glasses or contact in it and with my scleral lens in the left I have good vision. I’m 27 sontechnically I should be coming out of progression from what i understand anyway.
Its difficult to talk to my family about this as they all have perfect vision and my sister still doesn’t understand why glasses won’t work!!! So I really appreciate your advice.
Understand that I may sound irrational, my surgeon basically told me CXL saved my left eye from a graft but I seem to be getting the jitters the second time round!
Advice appreciated.
To CXL or not to CXL
