There is no way to prove it, but I am pretty sure I developed Keratoconus due to Lasik.


Because most likely that was only the trigger

Keratoconus has a strong genetic component. And should have been screened (using the corneal scan) prior to surgery

But of course a surface that is frail is going to become more frail after surgery


There was screening. They said the cornea was a bit weak, but still fine… Last time I checked it wasn’t yet declared a genetic thing and there is no history of Keratoconus in my family.


Are you attempting to fix it?

I am tempted to get a contact lense inserted into one eye to correct it.

I think I developed it as due to Lasik, but it only occurred in my left eye. My right eye is still good.


I only got CXL. After that experience, I am not too tempted to mess with my eyes anymore :(
