optometrist here who specializes in keratoconus! I am sure you have many questions and National Keratoconus Foundation is a great resource! your doctor was 100% correct to not recommend lasik as this can worsen the condition. it is a progressive condition so monitoring closely with repeating the scans of the eye is essential and I highly recommend the cross linking should any further thinning be found. specialty contact lenses are also something to explore for enhancing your vision if needed :)

I also had cross linking done in both eyes. My major reccomendation is take all the painkillers for the first couple of days, but apart from that, it is a really quick and straight foward procedure. I did it almost two years ago and since then my Keratokonus has stopped developing which made me really happy, totally worth it 😊

Both my dad and best friend from high school have keratoconus and have both gotten cross linking done. My dad had his done in his 50s and my friend at 22. Both of them had super good results from the procedure and pretty minimal recovery time. My friends was pretty far along so they scheduled his procedure really quickly and he’s had such better vision and the symptoms he had are basically gone. Early intervention seems to be important!

Dr feinerman really is an angel!! My husband went to 3 lasik consults and feinerman is the only one who was honest about his thin corneas - the rest were willing to do it anyway! He followed up 1 yr later after doing drops with no improvement so my husband never got lasik done either. Feinerman really is an angel! Glad you went to him instead of the other OC/LA eye surgeons :)

i found out in April I have Keratoconus. Since then I've had 2 surgeries to correct my left eye and now scheduled for the contact fittings. Crosslinking to treat KC is very similar process as lasik.. Its a weird disorder but can be treated with the surgeies and contacts. Catching it early is key! Many drs ignored mine for years so my recovery has been a tad longer than I expected but I will survive. LOL There are some really good groups to get info like the National Keratoconus foundation! Its very much worth looking into them

The way that I viscerally reacted to seeing that stink bug in the pod room. 😅 Those are the worst!!!! Also, I’ve been looking into LASIK too, and I’m so sorry you got that news. I’m glad the doctor didn’t just go for it anyways! For DIY gifts, I’d love to see ways to use that clay. I’ve been looking at DIY garden stakes recently that I could gift to someone with spaces for them to write the plant species and the origin of the seeds, but so many of the instructions I’ve found are just for stakes that already include the plant species. I hope that makes sense! @elilumens

My corneas were too thin for LASIK which is why I got PRK. I was devastated with the news but it has been superb. No risk of flap damage but a bit longer downtime. You have to regrow the epithelial layer they remove so your vision gets more crisp as time passes. Lubricate your eyes as much as you can. I had crystal clear in probably a month. 20/20 in a week after the procedure. But before that month I had trouble reading tv menus since they are moving. The gift of sight with no aid has been magical worth every penny but do not take it lightly folks.

So dog safe ornaments would be amazing

that’s so crazy because i wasnt eligible for lasik either, but it was because they would’ve had to take off too MUCH goo! The threshold is like 40% or something and they would’ve had to take off closer to 50%. They recommended PRK to me though, maybe it’s a good option for you!!
