CXL & Intacs or new laser treatment?

Postby Hayley » Fri 03 Aug 2012 4:33 pm

Hi,
I'm going to see a specialist in Guildford later this month to discuss CXL and an intac in one eye as recommended by my contact lens fitter due to struggling with rigid lenses recently. I have read about new 'laser' treatments to improve the shape of the cornea and believe this can be done with CXL rather than intacs? Is this an option that I should be inquiring about or are intacs still the best option?
Thanks for any comments, Hayley.
