Corneoplastics
Well after talking to my eye doctor, he says that he wants to see me about having his new procedure sometimes referred to as Corneoplastics (said he doesn't like to give names but this is what its been called) done on me instead of Intacs. He re-shapes the Cornea with a laser like in Lasik and said ...

Intacs reduce ghosting?
Sorry for all the Intacs questions (I'm obviously looking into getting them). My next question is: Has anyone had success with Intacs reducing the ghosting/blurring effect that KC causes? The reason I ask is because someone on this site said that the surgery didn't help them with this at all, and re...

Re: advice on Intacs
Thanks for the replies and info. I have left a message for my doctor and look forward to talking with him about my options. I imagine he will probably want to see me and check some things to see if I would be a good candidate. In the mean time, I'm gonna keep researching and seeing how the surgery h...

Re: advice on Intacs
Another question I have is: If Intacs don't slow or stop the progression of KC, and they reshape the cornea to a more normal shape, then if my keratoconus is still progressing, will it gradually become shaped badly again after the Intacs? And then is it possible to have the surgery re-done later to ...

Re: double vision after intacts surgery
Yeah that helps. I'm interested in finding out what I can since I'm starting to consider Intacs to help the blurring/ghosting. I have it pretty bad in my left eye, and very little in my right. The main thing I would worry about is still getting the blurring after the surgery, then it would seem like...

Re: double vision after intacts surgery
Alice-did you see any visual improvement after the Intac was inserted, or is the ghosting about the same?

Re: double vision after intacts surgery
Is your double vision worse than it was before the surgery? I have a lot of double vision and ghosting/blurring of images because of my KC, and that sounds like a concern if the Intacs made it worse. I would expect an improvement in that area.

Re: advice on Intacs
Thanks Karl-I have kept up with Ed's diary, and will catch up on yours now. I'm just trying to see if maybe Intacs are the way to go since my KC is fairly moderate but bothers me quite a bit. I am scared to wait until its too late as I have noticed some progression, but I also don't wanna rush into ...

Re: Headaches???
I suffer from headaches because of my eyes pretty regularly too. I really have a headache everyday pretty much. I've gotten used to having them to some extent. I also get soreness in my eyes like you mentioned. I wake up with headaches a lot too. It seems to me like my eyes would feel good after res...

advice on Intacs
Can some of you who have had Intacs put in please give me some info/advice on how everything went and if you are glad that you had them put in or not. I'd like to hear both positive and negative things about them. I am considering getting them more seriously, and would love to hear a little bit more...
