Natural history of corneal haze after collagen crosslinking for keratoconus and corneal ectasia

I found an interesting research paper titled "Natural history of corneal haze after collagen crosslinking for keratoconus and corneal ectasia" (Author: Steven A. Greenstein, Kristen L. Fry, OD, MS, Jalpa Bhatt, Peter S. Hersh, MD)

Since I had both LASEK and Corneal Cross Linking, and currently suffering from moderate (which I consider severe) corneal hazing, the below graph shows how corneal haze induced specficially by Corneal Cross Linking (which is different from other surgical procedures like LASEK or PRK) is reduced over time.  Research has shown 1 year is a good time for the haze to be reduced to levels a little over before the operation.  I am at 3 months now and I just can't wait.  I wish the haze would just go away but patience is the only thing that's left to do :(
