Keratoconus(442um,429um)
Dear Dr.'s,
My parents & i so fear & confuse , i consulted from some Dr's. bcz i suffered from Keratoconus dicease for both eyes, when i was check 4 month ago then i knew that ,
Some Dr given me suggestion by cheking 4 month case report,
as your age(26) Keratoconus on eyes not to rise therefore you dont need to do C3R treatment, you follow 3-6 month duration for topography or Pentacam if any change then we will go for C3R ,untill it is not need.
But some Dr said you have to need for C3R now, my parents & i fear about if we will do C3R any side effects there,or any change in natural phenomena of my eyes, now we are confusing right now do or not, what necessary now?
