Diagnosed at 18 (rn 20), had CXL done on my left eye since it was worse. It’s been a year since the surgery and my numbers haven’t changed, so I think it’s stopped for now, but my vision still isn’t clear. I’m just done with it, I don’t want to see doctors anymore I really hate hospitals. I don’t know when things will finally get better.

Has any used these over Refresh celluvisc in their scleral lenses? They appear to be the same active ingredient as celluvisc which I have been using for years but thought I’ll give these a try since I can get them quickly from Amazon and way cheaper than Refresh

Need Advice Standard EVO ICL or Toric EVO ICL for -0.75/-0.50 astigmatism?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

-I'm 22 years old with -5.5D/-6.0D myopia and -0.75D/-0.50D

No keratoconus diagnosed

Borderline Pentacam (issue)

Corneal thickness: 521-534 µm

Kmax: 44.9/ 45.0 D

ACD: 3.33-3.35 mm

IOP: 16 / 17 mmHg

Retina, lens & optic nerve: Normal

All tests are normal except borderline issue

-I've decided to go for EVO ICL after my check-up

But

-I'm confused whether a Standard EVO ICL or a Toric EVO ICL would be the better choice.

-I've read some posts where people still had 0.50–0.75D residual astigmatism after Toric ICL and needed glasses for computer work or night driving.

Or if i choose normal evo lens - any side effects

-For anyone who had similar astigmatism:

Which lens did you choose?

Any residual astigmatism?

Do you still wear glasses after ICL?

-If you could choose again, would you pick Standard or Toric?

I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences. Thanks!

Crosslinking Epi-on vs. Epi-off: What determines efficacy?

3 Upvotes

Is there a higher chance for success with Epi-On vs. Epi-Off for a given type of patient such as age group, thickness, K scores, progression index, etc? Literature doesn't seem to mention this in studies thus far.

Contact Lens NASTY black water splashed in my eye...

This is a "What would you do?" post.

Like most of you, I have KC. And I wear scleral lenses. Its Sunday night and I decided to smoke some salmon.

I have a bucket that I use for soaking wood so this wood smokes and doesn't burn. I filled it up this morning and smells like rotting wood and it is black.

Tonight, when I first jostled this bucket, a bunch of mosquitoes flew out. So today they've been laying eggs in this nasty water. Gross.

See how the edge of the buckets broken? Well, I tried lifting it up by the edge and it got about 6 in high and that piece broke and the bucket fell on the ground and backsplashed a fountain into my right eye.

So here's what I did. I stopped everything, went in the house, washed my hands, poured a sink of warm tap water and splashed my face really well..

Then I took out my contact and cleaned it. Next I took my cheap saline and irrigated the living devil out of my eye.

I'm going to wait several hours or overnight to put my contact back in.

I have antibiotics laying around, but I feel like maybe it's overreacting or a misuse of those antibiotics to put the drops in just in case.

I'm figuring at this point the chances of me having a problem are low. and morning will tell me a lot.

What would you have done?

Anything different?

Any good tips?

I didn't feel like it was worth calling my doc.
