I got CrossLinking , i don't recommend it if your eye is already poorly ruined , do it only if your eye is still useful , because doing it on a ruined eye doesn't do anything and docs do it just to take money from you .
Underscore sorry to hear that... I was diagnosed 2 years ago and have been using the rigid peramble gas lenses... Cost of it is 80$-170$ depending on the size of bulge of the eye... May i ask in your case what you decided for treatment?
joe matters hey Joe. Insurance has had me waiting still. Two months to get an appointment for this. I am going to see if the cross linking is a possibility if not, hard contacts will be the choice!
Got diagnosed yesterday with it, I will go ta another hospital in a few months more specialized on eys and probably try the cross-linking method. Scary how fast you can lose your eyesight in just one year I got from perfect seeing to hardly able to read letters bigger than 1 inch 5 feet from me. :(
Getting my cross linking done February 28th and since mine is progressed so bad they are gonna do the next one in Late march maybe if everything goes well.
My insurance company still said that cross linking is still experimental even though it’s FDA approved....and my insurance company said they will not cover cross-linking...why is that?
got my first scleral lenses a couple of weeks ago. its the best lenses iv ever had in terms of COMFORT and vision. rgb is the worst that gave me startbursts/flares and leaves your vision really messed up when u take them off. soft contacts is decent but not as comfortable or good as scleral. the only downside is that they are abit messy to insert.
I'm 45 an confused if this will help me or not. (had LASIK 20 years ago) and my eye doctor recommended cross-linking today for my Karatoconus (and my insurance doens't cover it) and my eyesight is quite blurry because of it. At my age a would getting them now be wasting my money?
A lot to digest from this. A lot of problematic facts and statistics provided aswell. I am only newly diagnosed, so have been doing a lot of research but every piece of information I have encountered has said that the rarity of the condition is 1 in 2000 people, and possibly as low as 350, not one set of statistics, besides the one provided in this video states that it is is as common as 1 in 100. Secondly, eye rubbing is not the cause of keratoconus, eye rubbing is the mechanism which makes the deformity in the cornea worse, it is a genetic disease, you can't give yourself keratoconus from eye rubbing, as is suggested in this video. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Just alarmed at the amount of misinformation contained in this video.
can you recommend a facility in the San Francisco Silicon Valley or Monterey Bay Area. I wear scleral lenses now. Looking to get cross-linking to prevent further progression of keratoconus it has progressed in both eyes in the last 2 years now. My last eye exam and scleral lenses worst rated in Vancouver Washington I no longer live there.
Sir i am confused on that....i visit an eye soecialist he said .e that i have keratoconous and after diing my two corneal topography scans with 3 months gap he tell me that your keratoconous is not progressing.. He tell me that you have to wear RGP lenses .it will improve your keratoconous and after a year you will not need to wear them....sir when i goes to doctor whoch provids these lenses.... he tell me it will not improve your keratoconous and after a time you will see the world correctly without them...but they are just like glasses.. the time when you wear it you will see correctly and after remove you will not see correctly...it is for all life...what is fact sir??
Contacts can’t stop the progression of keratoconus. You need to do cross linking as the doctor says in the video otherwise your keratoconus my progress
My both eye have kerataconus both eye one time do c3r but the vision not clear my left eye was very low vision my dr said change the cornea but iam very sad and confused what do? Help me please
