I have a history of several diagnosed eye conditions: Keratoconus both eyes mild to moderate, history of optic neuritis one eye, and astigmatism both eyes. Sounds awful? Not really. .... After getting epi-on cross linking in both eyes, an intac in one eye, and PRK in the other eye, I am able to see without glasses 20/25 in one eye and 20/70 in the other. I may get CK done in the 20/70 eye next year. Point being: if you are newly diagnosed with keratoconus, don’t freak out. Find a KC specialist, Get the cross linking to stop progression ASAP and then consider the other options of intacs, CK, and PRK. Also avoid eye rubbing as much as possible. Medicine has come a long way when it comes to this condition. Should you have any questions for me, feel free to email me directly at bwaventura@aol.com as I don’t check back here often.
