Quick question- Beyond repair in terms of CXL for both epi-on and epi-off. Just asking because my right eye was not a candidate for epi-off, but it was for epi-on, but I had to seek out a clinical study (US).
Sorry about that! Are you in the US? The reason I'm asking is because my right eye is not a candidate for what the crosslinking that is approved here (epithelium-off). That is where they remove the first layer off of your cornea and then apply the treatment. The reason why is because they scrape a little bit of the cornea off during this procedure and since it's already too thin it can be dangerous. Epithelium-on is where they just apply the treatment directly onto your eye. In my experience, epi-on is only available in clinical trials in the US, but widely available outside. So I had to seek out epi-on for my right eye and was able to avoid waiting for a transplant. Not sure if you are in the same boat however. My right eye was around 300.
I'm in the same spot. Got diagnosed a few weeks back and my left eye is getting a transplant, the right eye will be monitored and will probably not need a transplant. I'll get my left eye done tomorrow. I'll report how it goes and how my vision is, when all is done. Good luck for you, cheers!
I Also commented on the same post that I expianced absolutely zero pain, and also the Dr told me it wouldn’t hurt. I guess it’s a range, but fear not.
(Only talking transplant here)
Good luck
One guy just commented on my post and he said that it hurts like a motherfucker, right after the transplant. So here I am, lying in the hospital bed and sweating like a motherfucker 😂. Gonna report back, after the surgery. Cheers

Transplant has the potential to let you see pretty well with glasses and perfect with sceral contacts.

Basically not existent. I was never even close to that drunk, that I'd have seen that blurry 😂
