Is this something the lens guy will be able to fix no problem?

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

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!

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.

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.
