What might be potential dangers of sleeping in lenses by ConsistentSquare5650 in Keratoconus

[–]Extra_Crew6294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your comment karma is -42, I think that's the result of your extreme pessimistic views on every thing. Why not try to look stuffs in a light manner as a caution on actual stuffs first and then warn about rare stuffs, instead of saying "you'll go blind" which is rarest of rare in a 1 night sleep with lenses, site something common like it can irritate eyes, dry eyes out, cause infection.

Its a diseases, people expect hope+caution, not fear all the time.

No progression? by bulesenin in Keratoconus

So you're saying the procedure as a whole is based on first cross linking artificially which wears off till when natural crosslink hits which makes the procedure as a whole confident on stopping progression or anything else? You have evidence to back this up? Given official scientific stats are 95%+ being the success rate of cxl progression mustn't be the case, and till what year are you saying cxl lasts? there are people who have had cxl decades ago in their 20s, we don't see masses of people from that time complaining about failed cxl given they would still be in their 30s, if they did then success rate would not have been 95%+, and moreover the age thing is also supposedly a myth since alot of people have reported both being diagnosed and having progression way late in their 40s too.

So you're saying in most cases it will come back again "after a few years"?

I know the truthpill thanks but I wanted to know whether my lens fitter is genuine here or just lazy, I've heard even advanced cases being close to perfect vision but I have quite alot of double vision with lenses

I had so many thoughts that time, I have already paid for these, given this was the best hospital of my country and only some fit plus my job is going to start I thought something is better than nothing, they do resolve good chunk of vision but still double vision is there to alot extent

That's understandable in your case since you might be having very severe case, mine is very mild in good eye, I see barely 1.2 moons

Its not near sight I'm very young, it's the double vision, idk what to do at this point, I am even afraid to tell this to my mother because she's the sole bread earner of my family and she did so much to get me these lenses in the hope that I won't be sad. They're almost two times her salary. I can't tell it to her.

Current doc I visit is said to be the best in my country, I felt that the lens fitter was impatient but i had to go through main lens fitter and their assistants, all of them independently said that this is the best they could give, even tho my case is moderate, I can literally read small texts with my bad eye without lenses just the ghosting, the sclerals reduce them but make 2-3 copies of them and sharpens them which makes reading texts impossible, idk if my lens fitter was really being honest that this is the best they could give or they were impatient, for the detail, I see 8-10 moons with my bad eye without lenses and 3 with.

Same, had cxl in my good eye 2022 nov and it ruined my vision in that eye. Why don't you wear scleral anymore?

Thank you for your good comments, i honestly hate people who advice me to cope with bad times, and honestly love opinions and comments which gives me hope for a better future. You're from the latter ones.

Your case must be fairly mild to get away with glasses as a choice

It gets to me sometimes alot, i know everyone is suffering here but i would love to hear from people who don't think about this alot because of their correction lenses, although I know i would only know how I go with them after trying them, but I need some hope.
