Keratoconus Vision
Hi,
I have a 6/24 vision in right eye post 2 weeks after C3R. Earlier I had a better vision. Will my vision restore to previous level (6/12) or improve with Rose-K lenses or Scleral lenses to crystal clear eyesight? I am seeing a lot of bluriness right now.

In the procedure of C3R a layer of the cornea called epithelium is removed.... And a contact lens is also placed.... The epithelium takes time to heal may be 2 to 3 weeks... Due to this the vision is blurr. Once the epithelium is healed you will have the pre precedure vision of 6/12.
The procedure cannot correct the pre existing corneal thinning... It will just halt the process of further thinning. So there will not be improvement more than 6/12 vision.
Next Steps
Regularly follow up with the ophthalmologist and put the eye drops prescribed... you will be fine in another 1 to 2 weeks.

The vision will improve gradually but there is not guarantee of crystal clear vision.
Bt healing process of this surgery is long.
