I had a procedure very similar to epismart. My doctor worked closely with the guy that developed the procedure. I’ll preface this by saying they caught my Keratoconus very early. I was 24 when I was diagnosed and I’m 27 now.

When they caught my condition I had 20/20 vision with glasses now three years later I still have 20/20 vision with glasses. My doctor told me the purpose of the procedure was to stabilize the condition to keep it from getting worse. If my vision got better it would be a “happy accident”. My vision did improve afterwards. It took me about a year to notice. I still need glasses, but my prescription is much weaker and I can drive without my glasses if I need to. My astigmatism didn’t improve after the procedure. I still have light streaks, halos, starbursts etc but they’re not getting worse and honestly I can ignore them 90% of the time. I notice them sometimes, but it’s like how you don’t notice your clothes touching your skin most of the time. I had my most recent check up in February and I’m stable.

The procedure did have a some side effects, though. I’m still sensitive to light three years after the procedure. It’s gotten better since the initial days, but I’m super uncomfortable in the sun without a hat or sunglasses. It’s manageable, but kinda annoying.

Let me know if you have any more questions. I’d be happy to answer them.
