I have keratoconus, so unfortunately glasses aren’t an option for me. I have to wear these rigid plastic contact lenses to correct for my corneas which bulge outwards kinda like little cones.
Ah, I’m a Brit, I’ve been going through this with the NHS and while the eye clinic did mention the cross linking and possible transplant. They were very much of the opinion that it was a measure of last resort and would only consider it if my eyes got drastically worse.

I am sorry to hear that, I made my earlier comment without considering medical issues like this.
I should have been more clear on what I meant, sorry for the confusion.
No worries, just thought I’d provide a viewpoint as someone who has no other option than contact lenses.
Trust me, if I could I would much rather wear glasses, be far more comfortable than using the small plunger I need to use to get my lenses out.
Have you asked for a transplant?

My wife had a crosslink in one eye and she is really happy with it. Except for the first days (pain killers).
