There were some subsequent posts that were both important and off topic. So that the new discussion was not lost, I split the posts into a new topic "Nervous about transplant"

I was just wondering about the CXL and the future it holds. I can imagine in the near future they will be able to put a liquid in your eye to actually flatten out the cornea. I hope this happens. Oh, good luch with the CXL!

question for ppl who had c3-r done:

I also had it done in Los Angeles.I was seated in a chair, then had a dr manually use an eye dropper to put drops in my eye and then shine a UV light for about 30 min, adding drops every 10 min, i think. I for some reason thought it would be some kind of machine doing it.

Was your procedure similar?
