Re: Ring Implant into Cornea (Keratoconus)

Optometrist here. How are they working for you now that you are 4 years out? Any complications or changes in vision since the surgery?
I reduce from 16 dioptics to 3 on the worse eye.

Right after get done, I get some halos, doted halos like a ferris wheel around lights at night.
Also get a brigther perception of blue colors
After 2 years the brain filter that and i cant see no halos or color predominance now.

My eyes are more sensitive to presure/impact/wind but no swelling or scars.

Re: Ring Implant into Cornea (Keratoconus)

Anvaje, thank you for this post. I also have Keratoconus. My vision with glasses is awful, and I also have RAPD Optic Neuropathy in my right eye. Basically, something is attacking my optic nerve on the right. We don't know yet what it is.
I am not able to tolerate gas permeable lenses, so I have not been able to be fitted for contacts which is what will allow proper correction for this eye disease. I have an appointment with my corneal specialist next week. I am wondering if getting the corneal ring would change the shape enough to enable me to then wear a soft lens again.
At any rate, thanks for the post. I don't meet to many of "us".

Neat post, hate to sound cliche, but you do learn something new every day.
WoW, I just posted something similar on the Rhinoplasty Post about learning something new every time here in the Site

Re: Ring Implant into Cornea (Keratoconus)

I'm not sure I'm strong or brave enough to go through a procedure like this one.
