UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Just wondered if anyone had any definitive answers on this yet? I had cross linking in one eye in the summer, had to go private at the time. Very happy, so far, with results. Eventually I will probably need it in the other eye (other eye at the mo shows no signs) I'm hoping I can do that one on the ...

I see, sorry I did not see that else I would have submitted something. Not sure how it can still be called a new treatment it's been around a long time now, but hey ho.

Well instead of starting a new thread I'd thought I'd just post in my old one. It's been three months (I think) since I had my cross linking. I think it's gone well, I don't really even think about it anymore. Other then at some point I might need it in my right eye and hoping it will be on the NHS ...

Sorry to here that, whats his vision like? Did they say if it had healed at all or was infected? I assumed the bandage was just there to help further prevent infection?

I suppose the treatment mimics the condition in that it's a little unpredictable. But, the risks are very low though, for instance risk of infection is 1 in 1000 and I have a ton of drugs i'm taking to help prevent that. Risk of hazing as I said 1%, but that should go in a week and risk of scarring ...

hi Andrew, Thanks for the kind words. yeah I think it's about a week, he said most people can go back to work after a week. But, I think its the first three days which are the most distorted. Like yesterday I found it hard to focus on anything and had light sensitivity, just wanted to close my eyes ...

Well had it done yesterday! The doc checked my eye today said it was ok. Got a awful lot of drugs to take but I think I have a system now. Written a bit more on my blog about it but probably won't have much more to say for a week or two after the possibility of an infection and when I know if its he...
