    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.

          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.

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