CXL - Drops questions and Hazy Vision

Postby neomilan » Mon 27 Jul 2015 8:10 am

Hi all

I had my CXL procedure on saturday (two days ago) on my left eye only
there are soooo many drops to take!

i want to know which are the essential ones that are doing important work for my eyes... (if that makes sense)

dexamethasone (anti inflamatory every 2 hours
moxifloxacine (4 times a day antibiotic)
hylotears (every 2 hours comfort drop)
diclofenac volterol (pain mgmt 3 times a day)
cyclopentolate (day 0 and day 1 only, run out now)
proxymetacaine (when needed, now run out of this)


also what is the haziness meant to be like, it feels like just dirt in the eye for me which i cant remove, is that normal? how long will this last, i need to be back to work next week!

thanks for any replies

M

Hello and welcome to the forum. I'm hoping one of the forum users with experience of CXL will reply to you - or maybe you've had a follow up appointment by now where you've been able to get answers to your questions?

I only had 3 different types of drops so you've got more than me! Plus another for pain relief (which somehow I managed to avoid using as I was told it makes the healing process take longer)

Haziness can last anywhere from 1-2 weeks (my first eye) or... 8 months and counting :roll: (my second eye)
