Did you have LASIK in the 90s/00s? Watch out for Keratoconus!
LASIK technology has come a long way. Back in the 90s and early 2000s, the scans used to assess patients for LASIK weren't as sophisticated. This means some people who seemed like good candidates for LASIK might have actually had undiagnosed Keratoconus, a condition that weakens the cornea. Over time, this could lead to vision problems like worsening nearsightedness, blurry vision, and increased glare.
The good news is that today's LASIK technology includes much more precise cornea scans. This helps doctors identify potential issues like Keratoconus beforehand and ensure LASIK is truly the right option.
If you had LASIK surgery before the mid-2000s and are experiencing any vision changes, it's important to get checked for Keratoconus. Early detection and treatment can help maintain good vision. #LASIK #EyeHealth #Keratoconus

Stop Keratoconus Progression with Corneal Crosslinking Concerned about worsening keratoconus? Corneal Crosslinking (CXL) is an FDA-approved option! This procedure strengthens the cornea using special eye drops and UV light, potentially halting keratoconus progression. CXL doesn't improve vision, but it prevents further weakening. Often, CXL is followed by specialty contact lens fitting to enhan...

The prevalence of keratoconus has been a subject of debate due to limited studies, with some citing older research suggesting it occurs in about one in every two thousand individuals, labeling it a rare condition. However, recent studies, including those from the International Keratoconus Academy, paint a different picture, especially concerning children. These newer findings indicate a much hi...

Demodex are eye mites that build up on your eyelids and lashes. These mites can cause a variety of issues such as red, irritated, itchy, and inflamed eyes. I always recommend an eyelid spray, gel, or wipe to get rid of the mites or keep them at bay. Also - a new eye drop was just released that kills the demodex mites and the eggs to prevent them from returning. You simply use the eye drops twic...

    i have used everclean since i got my sclerals in 2019. its great, but then it went out of stock for like 9 months in EU in 2022/2023. So i had to find an alternative and they said i could use Boston simplus or Regard K. I used it and i have more comfort in my eyes with this. the optician said tho that i needed some tablet/pills for the solution to clean it completley like each 5th day.

But right now with my right lenses could wear it for over 8 hours and no fog at all, that's why is important to have the right fit.

      @Muzicboy3 I get 20/15 on the right eye once the lense is settled, but to be honest, I can see way better with the sclera than with glasses, plus they are so comfortable to wear, if you are planning on getting them, you should give it a try, at least I hate wearing glasses and having the scleras it's been a great experience so far and I'm still on the last stages of fitting.
