Keratoconus 5-Month Follow up (April 9, 2011)

5 months have passed and I decided to go for a follow-up.  Good news was that my keratoconus condition was stable and I was a good candidate for LASEK.  Dr. Edmondo Borasio informed me that my risks were similar to a good candidate for LASIK, and that he will have to perform Corneal Cross-Linking after the LASEK procedure to strengthen the cornea and avoid any issues with my keratoconus.  To me this meant no eyeglasses and also avoiding any future issues with a progressing keratoconus condition (which may require a corneal transplant if it turns out to be severe)…2 birds with one stone.  You would think that at this moment I would take the leap.  Unfortunately I head back home to think about it…and eventually forget about it.
