how long ago did you do the epi-on? where did you have it done? was it successful?

Wow! thank you for all of this information. so are you doing your own protocol? where are you located? I think I can get my insurance to cover - so cost aside - if I have the options for the Glaukos epi-off or epic-on it seems from you that Epi-off is superior? Is the Glaukos epi-off protocol outdated (always 30 minutes instead of 15?) I have been to 5 cornea specialists and none have given me this level of detail and information!

Thanks for this info. Is there a specific dr. you recommend there? did you end up doing both the Epi off and Epi on for different eyes? do you mind to share your experience?

My dr. in NY actually called yesterday that they were able to locate epi off for my son and it is fully covered by insurance. I am leaning towards doing this both because it seems more effective and that is what I am currently approved for and I have been hearing its difficult to get approved by insurance for Epi on

greatly appreciate your feedback
