eye issues from CXL and Intac?

Postby Ozfiz » Tue 10 Mar 2009 12:22 pm

i have an intac and have had CXL on my right eye.
Pretty much alot of the time it feels like there is gravel in my eye, sometimes i just blink and it goes all weird and my eye jsut starts watering like crazy. The light sensitivity is nuts, i cant go in the sun without sunglasses, and if i do im running around with my right eye closed.

I really hope i'm not having an issue with the intac. i had serveral appointments, due to follow up from the CXL, but they havent said anything about the intac. im going back for another appointment on the 21st april. and they have suggested i can get the CXL on my good eye in another 4-5months.

Do you think these issues are caused by the intac or the CXL, or do think its a combination of both??
If anyone else has had both, i like to know if you've had any of these syptoms.

thanks :)

You ask a question that none of us can answer; we can't see your eyes and we can't diagnose the reason for your light aversion. Actually, this sort of sensitivity can be caused by a number of things, including keratoconus.

all the best
