Hi all,
As of writing this, I had my check up.
To cut a potential long blog short, the usual check up and scans happened and I finally went and saw my consultant.
The vision on the left eye is improving. With still some hazing going on from the recent rejection attempt. As it seems that whenever I’m not put on steroid eye drops, the cornea starts being rejected. So, for the time being, I am having to be on them for what my team said for at least a year. And as the left eye vision is improving, I will be going back in a few months to see the in-house optician to see if glasses will work. If they don’t, then they’ll start looking at having further surgery to improve the structure of the cornea. LASIK basically. Or possible incisions.
Just before I was about to voice concern about possible degrading of vision in my right eye, my consultant said that as he hadn’t seen the right eye for some time he’d check my notes and see if the scans indicate anything. And they did. Minor progression of Keraotoconus. Considering my CXL surgery was well over 2 years ago, and only minor progression has come out of it, that surgery did the job quite well. But 1 more cross linking is needed to try and halt the rest of the progression.
So I’m back in 2-3 months about glasses and then back in October to see my consultant again regarding the future in which I undergo surgery.
A bummer yes that I need more cross linking, but from one personal experience of it, it did the job well. And despite it being extremely painful, it was well worth the torture. I know a lot of people that didn’t have any pain or just mild soreness, so please just assume that my painful experience was just merely a bad reaction to the surgery on my part.
The future is somewhat bright. It pushes some goals further away, but sometimes you have to worry about yourself before doing what you want to do. I want to go back into my music, but, as always, is on hold for the meantime.
If any of you have questions regarding my past cross linking or whatever, please do free feel to message me.
Have a good day!
Ollie
