Refractive surgery for Keratoconus

2023-08-25 06:37:04
I'm 23 years young female and have a power of 7.5 in both eyes and suspect keratoconus. Doctors advised me to do ICL but I'm scared since it's an intra ocular process and changes of developing cataract soon, is there any other option of refractive surgery? Or ICL is save?
