I had mine done in Toronto, Canada and it cost me $2,200.00 U.S for one eye....pretty expensive I hope it was worth it!

I had crosslinking in my left eye under the NHS at Moorfields St georges at the start of May. If you are looking to have it under the NHS i would defintely go to Moorfields, they put me forward for it no problem

Been a pain having to rely on one eye for the last month but im looking forward to August when i get a new lens fitted for my left eye as my right is becoming a lot more intolerant of a lens. Left eye never had functional vision without a lens so i cant really tell if its any better or worse at the moment, it's a waiting game.

If only all these procedures didnt take so long to work through eh

I went in for my one month post crosslinking. My vision was worse but my astigmatism got better.....
I also hate the waiting game! I am just hoping that it is up hill from here!!!
