cxl epi on next month

Postby sean92 » Tue 21 Jun 2022 7:54 pm

So I'm getting cxl epi on in my left eye next month (my good eye) my right eye can't see that well. I will have a week off work, will my left eye vision return to what it was before cxl , I'm afraid I won't be able to see well enough to go back to work(work on computer all day ) . At the moment I'm just about getting by with glasses.

Hello Sean and welcome,
I think so far everyone who has posted here about their CXL experience has had epi off (which is what the majority of hospitals offer) rather than epi on so it would be very interesting to hear how things go for you - I hope you'll share that with us next month. With epi off, people's experiences seem to vary quite a bit, but most go back to work successfully after one or two weeks. Do you have a sympathetic employer? Do have a look at the various resources about KC at work which is on the home page of our website.

All the best for next month.
