That's exactly what I got, because the keratoconus on the left eye was much more severe they did the full cross-linking treatment where they peel/shave the surface of the cornea, in my right eye I got the partial/lighter treatment to stop progression because it wasn't as bad.

Nice, I didnt know there was a possibility of shaving your cornea with CXL, I thought they just put a bunch of chemicals in your eye and shoot a laser
Anyways, how you doing now? Did your vision get any better or stayed the same? (hopefully didnt get worse)

I had the procedure 2.5 years ago, actually had a checkup a week ago (usually have them twice a year) and my vision in the left eye improved a bit, always had good vision in right eye and it stayed the same.

In the last checkup the readings on the my right eye were a bit worse (I'm talking about the keratoconus not vision), might have another light treatment in that eye if it continues to get worse but it's pretty mild and it's too soon to tell.

Did you do CXL?

If it progresses, yes. I have it both eyes, early stages

Ah I see, well gl bro it's good that you cought onto it early on.
In my case I was lucky it wasn't discovered later on, my right eye was really bad and I would have needed to get a cornea transplant had it not been diagnosed when it did, didn't even have any symptoms just went for a random checkup for something else.

No symptoms? It's moderately hard for me too see at night, especially if I'm driving (you rpobably know what I mean), that's how I figured I should go see a doctor
Anyways, thanks for the info man, good luck

Lack of symptoms were probably becuase my right eye compensates for my left eye in terms of vision in everyday life, becuase my left eye is really bad my brain just kinda filters it's vision input out, and because the keratoconus on my right was way more mild it makes sense that i didn't notice anything, hopefully that makes sense lol.
