Sight after Cross Linking

Postby Matty » Tue 02 Nov 2021 11:52 am

Hello,
I've recently had cross linking done on my right eye (just over 2 weeks ago) but my vision is a lot worse and there's a slight fog/haze as well. I'm just slightly concerned that my vision won't improve beyond this and wanted to get an idea of other people's experiences with what their vision was like after Cross Linking and how long it took for your vision to either improve or get to the same point as it was before? It's been just over 2 weeks since I had it done.
Thank you in advance for any replies :D

In my left eye it took almost four weeks to see properly (if you can call KC vision that!) after my CXL was done. My right eye was only a couple of days.
