Hi Douglas... I have had both CXL and Intacs (Done seperately). I have had intacs done in both eyes, my left was done Feb 2017 and my right May 2017. I was hoping it would improve my vision, which it has done somewhat but much less than i was hoping (though my vision is still improving very slowly s...

I would suggest getting it checked out as well, better safe than sorry. Everyone will have different experiences but I have had CXL on both eyes, vision was blurry and red for up to the first 2 weeks (vision retuned after the first week/week and a half, redness subsided by the 2nd and I was wearing ...

No mention of it being preservative free, just sterile. If you are looking for preservative free specifically the current one you are using is being sold for £6 at amazon. Cheaper than ebay but if your able to get it for £3 from your optom, I doubt your going to find it anywhere much cheaper. https:...

I use Boots sterile saline. It does the job, it's much cheaper and also comes in a travel size.

But I much preferred my rgps and so clears, however my doctor has said since I have had intacs put in, somethin...

I have had intacs done in both eyes, my left was done 7 months ago and my right 3-4 months ago. I was hoping it would improve my vision, which it has done somewhat but much less than i was hoping (though my vision is still improving slowly so anything is possible). The only downside I have seen from...

Does anybody know if PRK would be an option?

Thanks for the speedy reply. Glasses stopped working for me early on. Although I may give them another crack now I have the intacs and my vision is improving slowly.Hopefully something new will come out of the works to help improve unaided vision even more.

Thanks,

Hi, New member here. I am 22 and I have had KC for 6 years. In the space of the first two years my vision deteriorated quite quickly (very stressful as I had 20/20 vision) and have worn RGP lenses too much success unless the KC progressed, causing my eye shape to change, and the contacts to become v...
