Everyone that is stressed about it TRUST ME, it Will be better 2-3 days pain after it! your life Will be better with new lenses and everything!
Had mine on Tuesday, when I got home the pain was excruciating but the doctor prescribed me some hyrdocodone and I fell asleep, woke up and pain was gone. Maintain your eye drops and you should be good!
Hi! Did you take any pain meds before leaving the hospital?
Had mine done on Thursday morning. I was overthinking it,such a big baby lol! It was painless and so simple. They stated I would have pain after the procedure but it's going on 72 hours (it's now Saturday morning) and absolutely no pain whatsoever. I guess everyone is different. My suggestion, as my Dr. stated, take your pain killer as soon as you get home after you eat. I did not experience any burning, no discomfort, the only thing I had to deal with was my eye kept running, it just was constantly tearing up. Everybody was concerned that I was in pain crying lol😅😄❤❤
I hope it's this easy for my son.
I also had the same experience, no pain either and I got this done yesterday morning ! How’s your vision ???
Is your vision better or worse or the same?
@@arissag960 how did the operation go for your son?
@@aviemore907 my son never got the operation he got scleral lenses instead.
Just had cross linking done in my left eye on Monday which wasn't painful but was uneasy. Following the surgery, I felt pain only till the night and by next day there was no pain. The doctor put a contact lens on my eye(which he said is a protection) that he will supposedly remove a week later after the surgery
Were you still Able to use your other eye? Or did you just keep both closed?
@@1234Gabster Well, the day of the surgery it was kinda hard to open both eyes open like I normally do but as from the following day, I was able to open both eyes with more ease. I was able to use both eyes but mostly the other eye. By now I don't feel any discomfort or irritation of some sort but still have to frequently put the prescribed in my eye
Hey! Did your vision worsen after the operation? And when did the hazy/blurry vision go? Or it's still there?
@@VivekKumar-ir1eg It was less clear following the operation for several weeks but it gradually improved to the level of vision I had before the operation. Now my vision isn't blurry/hazy(maybe a little at time) In my case during the first 2 months vision did get blurry/ hazy after little screen use. Did I answer your question?
@@abdullahmorad7117 Ahh okay! Thankyou. Yes you did answer my question brother.
How much time did it take to get back to your original vision? And did your number change? (Specs power)
I had signs of keratoconus in my right eye but i got crosslinking done on both, currently 4 days after and the pain is slowly getting better.
Mine is on 6th day
Hey! How's your condition now? Can you see clearly? I also had my C3R recently
@@VivekKumar-ir1eg hai brothel. After surgery how is vision
@@mekalamt6449 worse for sure. It's been more than a month since my C3R. Eventually it gets better with time is what everyone says.
@@Nyagamarto hey dude! How's your vision now? It has been more than 3 months right?
Best things I've ever done for my eyes I was one of the lucky ones that saw improvement on visio.... because remember people this surgery is to prevent not to improve your vision 😌
Did it hurt.and how is anaesthesia performed?
@@anonymous-oc2il it's drops and it doesn't hurt during the procedure only after.
@@eatmypapaya ok thanks for replying.i am preparing myself mentally
@@anonymous-oc2il it's super scary buy it was 100% worth it in my case.
@@eatmypapaya my doctor told me that my case is a very mild one.but he says if i wait for more than 3 years,i will have to do a graft.he told me that i can still avoid wearing lenses,provided that i have this done soon enough
Had mines done 4 days ago worst pain ever to feel? Sensitive to light for 3 days and this was my first time getting it done? Can someone please tell me when you can use your phone again & watch tv again
I took my painkiller little late and regretted that as it takes time for it to kick in. I also had a very uncomfortable 2-3 days. But overall it's not exactly PAINFUL.
Is your eyesight the same, worse or better than before?
What's your vision like after CXL?
@@aviemore907 my doctor told me it would be blurrier than usual for a couple of weeks. After that threshold my vision went back to what it was before the surgery. Due to my keratoconus i use scleral lenses.
@@Anjali-vj8uo yes well I am not going for any CXl in my left until my blinded right is sorted out first. Remember it could've gone the other way for you with cross-linking, it's a bit risky. I value my vision more than halting keratoconus.
@@aviemore907 advancing keratoconus can impair your vision a lot. So cross linking is a simple and effective procedure done by many that has helped greatly in the treatment for keratoconus! Of course, please speak to your Ophthalmologist on the best approach!
I'm getting epi on crosslinking done in 2 weeks!
How did it go I am getting it done tomorrow
Man oh man am i nervous. Im getting the surgery next Friday😳
Me too, 4-6 weeks time 🙄
August 12 for me still terrified
hey how did it go im supposed to go this monday. terrified of the pain after
@@6areIyhuman I'm also getting it tomorrow 💀
@@keithmaenzanise4440 how did it go? the procedure wasn’t that bad just kinda weird but that same day was the worst pain ever when i got home. second and third day no pain tho just swelling and tearing up. rly sensitive to light
it hurts bad .. hot sauce in the eye dont compare to the pain you feel... its a deep eye ball pain .. then it depends how you heal too... beware you will be extremely sensitive to light after until your epi heals
Wow thanks alot
Hey bro does it effect your vision after ?
@@alinadri3485 I had it, didn't have the pain that most reported. There was a little blurry vision after, while healing
@@alinadri3485 im stil legaly blind from my eye but it stopped it from coning more
@@reesedaniel1629 same...it's been 72hours and I still don't feel any burning or even discomfort whatsoever. My eyes just tear up alot, but today it's much better regarding my eyes watering all day. I can't relate to the others regarding the horrendous pain. My eyes don't even itch or have a sensation,just blurry
I did lasik extra with cross-linking procedure. I went well, then after the softlens bandage is taken off, it become worst and get scar. Now I put on my glasses again. My doctor didn't explain what happened and why is that happened 🤷🏻♂️
thanks,im even more scared
Would you need to wear a patch. For photophobia after the surgery. I currently have Keratoconis and it’s significantly reduced my VA. I’m an optometry student so was always aware of the types of procedures to treat. But I’ve also started getting really immense photophobia. And was wondering if this is common after the surgery too.
Yes they advised me to protect from the sun by wearing shades / sunglasses. Just got my other eye done and both were pretty sensitive to light.
just got the surgery done two days ago and i didn’t think the pain afterwords would be that bad.
Same 🥺
You can see better now ?
I'm sorry I hope you're feeling better. My son might be having this done very soon.
how was it? getting it this friday?
I got cross linking done in my left eye on monday. Felt pain after the surgery just until the night. By the next day there was no more pain
The hospital billed my insurance 171K and insurance covered 99% of it. I only paid out of pocket 1.3K not too bad
The hot sauce in the eye part is getting me very worried... maybe I should just succumb to keratoconus after all (I'm obviously joking but I'm still scared)
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
i thought doctors also corrected vision during the crosslinking procedure?
Hello Doctor. Thanks for this information.
I had mine a month ago, i should like to know If i can do lifting weight and swiming.
Why would u want to swim after having an eye surgery?
Hey I’ve have been super sensitive to light for over a year now, I’m getting cross linking surgery next month and was wondering can cxl fix the sensitivity to light later on after doing the surgery?
Hi harp
Have you done your surgery
How its feeling after
Any vision recovery?
Any side effects ?
How bad did it hurt from 0-10 im having the surgery in 2 weeks
@@slycooper7779 i’ve just got mined done, pain was 10/10 the day after, wish i was joking
@@lylep9076 Where did you get the surgery done? I just did my right eye done last Thursday, and I got my left eye done first a month ago. I barely experienced any pain afterwards. I did have a little bit of burning sensation the night of, but by the next day I was good. The burning sensation was about 6/10.
How are you now?
Damn, idk how they will make me stay still, im a lil bitch when it comes to my eyes, im scared that my eyes will get dry and they force it open so ima be trying to blink the whole surgery, im also scared of the light, im really sensitive to light already lol, i cant keep my eyes open really long during a eye exam so im so scared ima be a horrible person to work on 😭
how did it go?
@@adamtaheri1036 welltbh it wasent so bad, i didint feel anything, and i did want to blink a lot because im not good with eye drops but they have sum in your eye to open it up, but you dont feel it dry up or anything, and i had read that it hurt after the surgery, but i didint feel any pain after the surgery, its just annoying not being able to use the right eye, the day of surgery tho it dose get really watery, but no pain at all, idk if it’s common to not feel pain tho, cause all the vids ive seen say it hurts
Did you get CXL? How did it go?
@@aviemore907 im not sure about the terminology but basically they scrapped my cornea, put some yellow liquid in my eye and they put a light on top of me that i had to look at, it didint take long at all, it didint hurt at all, my eyes didint get dry, the light wasent unbearable, they gave me some numbing drops along with 5 more i had do use every day, took some pain killers like they told me too, and i never felt it at all, you just have to be careful with light, and make sure u dont scratch it sleeping, or get it infected, but i think they had me taking a lot of painkillers, so thats why i didint feel anything the whole time, i seen videos and they said it hurt bad so i was ready asf, and i never felt it, if u have any more questions ask and ill try to clarify or go in more detail
@@DiegoRodriguez-ru5if hi, when did you get CXL? Has your vision returned to normal?
How long you wear the bandage lenses for? I wear scleral lenses when will I be able to put it in?
I will get this procedure done July 9, 2024
Should someone limit screen time specially some weeks or months after cross linking or should they do so all throughout the rest of their lives? Or is it okay for someone to not do this after the surgery? Can someone please enlighten me about this aspect, please?
Did you get any answers about this? Thank you!
Just a patient but my doctor told me its okay to use my phone and I haven’t had any trouble. Just got my second eye done 3 days ago.
How long did it take before you could wear contacts? I literally can’t drive or function the same without my hard contacts.
@@Kristina-kk9rt I've chosen glasses instead. It was about 4 months after my cross linking.
Can cross linking cure refractive amblyopia doc
I had cxl a year ago and my eyes are still blurry and feels real thick sometime. I went to my doctor and they said it might be dust that collects in my eyes when I’m sleep but that doesn’t seem right. It’s been a year and I don’t know what to do. I regret getting cxl.
Me too, I got it last year in August. My vision seem clear once every couple of weeks but it's blurry most of the time. Sometime I think it's getting worse 😭
@@saniakiran5824 did you figure out what’s causing it?
Crazy expensive?
my left eye thic 500um, my need cxl? but with glass 6/6 v
Vision therapy can treated in adult?
Yes it can, but this video is related to Corneal Cross-Linking! Thank you for the comment though.
Can cross linking be repeated after 8 years if vision starts getting worse?
yes. just did.
wait what? But how can it get worse? I've been told by eye specialists that cross linking will stop the condition from worsening
@@abdullahmorad7117 that isn't a guarantee
@@distantyahoo ohh okay!! Well, that's not good then!! Thank you for enlightening me!! :)
So pretty much a scam for them to take your money repeatedly so they will have you keep coming back and back and back for them to take your money
Wait do you have to see it while it happens?! Oh noooo
I had surgery two days ago when should I be able to see better . I had it completed on my left eye .
What's is process bro plz tell me brother
How was the pain after
@@Ukfairgrounds very pain after
3days
@@pardeepnaik7341 why don’t you use the eye drops and pain killers so stop the pain also some people are saying it’s painful but bearable and gets better after a few days well others are saying it’s the worst pain they have ever fault and it’s worse then getting stabbed
@@Ukfairgrounds I suffer three days after c3r
Should you be in pain during the procedure?
Because they use numbing drops during your procedure, you will not feel pain. However, the recovery afterwards will cause you to experience pain, and discomfort.
Its burn
Do they ever put patients asleep during this procedure? This looks like alot 🥹
No they don't!! I wished so too but the patient needs to be conscious for some reason
Can kretoconous increase? After CxL BECAUSE I have done my surgery months ago but i fell the shade more worse. 🥺🥲
I'm sorry to hear that.
Same
I can feel same after 3 months of cxl surgery
@@mubashirali5258 it cannot be recovered. Just eyesight recovery possible. Shade not recovered because our Cornea Was Unstable
