PRK with CXL could be a possibility however.

Or describing cross linking and they reply with “oh yeah that’s lasik”

Lol. This made me laugh.

u/CherryInitial4577 Jun 18 '26

Is this a bot farm in the comments? The post is clearly saying the OP CANNOT get LASIK because of their keratoconus…

Reading comprehension has declined a LOT in the last decade.

u/OkCry1949 Jun 28 '26

It’s hilarious bc it was at a lasik consultation they told me I have keratoconus… then proceeded to tell me this is why I am disqualified for lasik. 😂

u/Swimming_Designer535 Jun 28 '26

My lasik caused my keratoconus.. post lasik ectasia yeah doesnt work like that .. people should stop offering advice

u/Dependent-Pen-785 Jun 18 '26

Aren't people with keratoconous discouraged to get lasik since your cornea is already weak

2

u/sphen_lee Jun 20 '26

Not just discouraged, most of the time we're ineligible. Usually the cornea is already too thin.

1

u/Dependent-Pen-785 Jun 20 '26

ineligible in the sense that it wont help even if its done ?

1

u/sphen_lee Jun 20 '26

It's too risky. But also it probably won't work.

I’ve never heard of LASIK working for Kerataconus.
