After having an eye test on Tuesday 15th April I'm happy to confirm my eye sight
has started to stabilise.
The optician was amazed at how well my eyes have healed since having
Collegan Cross Linking (CXL) in March 2013.
Although CXL is not 100% proven I would highly recommend this treatment
to anyone who suffers with Keratoconus (KC). I would also advise seeing an
ophthalmologist privately so you are seen immediately. I understand this
treatment is costly but to me eyes are one of the most precious organs in the
body. I'm aware CXL is now on the NHS however you could be waiting months to
have this treatment and depending on the progression of your condition you
could be too late.
My optician also mentioned that I was the second woman she had seen in four
years who suffers with KC and explained the majority of her KC
patients are male. It took her by surprise when I also told her KC is not genetic in my family.
