Hi all,

Just an update on my treatment with Crosslinking....(back in July last year).
I am still wearing glasses/contact lenses, but the good news is that the condition has stabilised!
I have even had some regression in my left eye, which is a bonus!
I do still go to the hospital, who have issued my with the lenses, but are very happy with the state of my vision.
I do have to admit, I find the lenses a little bit of a pain, as they can become irritating, but cannot complain as my vision is great!

Hi there - thats great news - just wondered where did you get your crosslinking done? and was it done on the NHS?

Hi Libby,

Sadly, the NHS were nowhere near offering it, despite paying loads into it through tax....
I went private through the Midland Eye Centre (in Birmingham). The treatment cost £2400, but they were able to offer me 0% finance, which suited perfectly.
The care I received was great and I am very grateful to them.
I hope this answers your question
