A member asked:
I have been recently diagnosed with keratoconus and did a cross-linking procedure in march. it has been 9 months now and i see no improvement. ?

Are you worse?: The cross linking procedure is not designed to improve the vision. It is designed to re-enforce weakened corneal protein cross links to help prevent further progression of the condition. This has been very helpful for many with keratoconus. Check with your corneal professional to see if anything else can be done to improve your vision.
