FDA-approved corneal cross-linking freezes keratoconus in its tracks. Save your career, your license, your future - while you still can.
Keratoconus makes your cornea thin and bulge into a cone. Glasses stop working. Contacts become painful. Without CXL, you could need a corneal transplant.
Your cornea is 30% weaker than normal and getting worse. Most people don't realize until it's advanced. If you're here, you caught it in time.
Keratoconus progresses fastest in your 20s. CXL works best on younger corneas. Wait too long = worse vision forever + possible transplant.
Most people get diagnosed at Stage 2. CXL works at any stage but earlier = better.
Slight vision changes, glasses still work, perfect time for CXL
BEST OUTCOME
Glasses barely help, considering contacts, CXL still very effective

DON'T WAIT
One treatment. Lifetime protection. Here's exactly what happens:
Numbing drops, you feel nothing. Epithelium removed or loosened.
Riboflavin (B2) soaks into cornea. Turns your eye yellow temporarily.
Controlled UV activates riboflavin. Creates new collagen bonds. Cornea becomes 300% stronger.
Protective contact placed. Go home. Sleep. Heal. Vision saved.

Young professionals who saved their vision with CXL
"My medical was at risk. Keratoconus meant losing my career before it started. Dr. Khanna fast-tracked my CXL, insurance covered everything. 6 months later: 20/20 vision, passed my medical, flying 737s. Don't wait like I almost did."
"Screens were becoming impossible even with new glasses every 3 months. CXL stopped the progression completely. Recovery was honestly easy - worked from home for a week. My vision actually IMPROVED. Best decision ever."
"Diagnosed at 20, terrified about medical school. Dr. Khanna explained everything, handled my student insurance, did both eyes. Back in class in 5 days. MCAT score went up after CXL - no more headaches from eye strain!"
"Family history of KC, watched my brother get a transplant. Got CXL the week after diagnosis. Mild discomfort for 2 days vs potential transplant? No brainer. Coded from bed during recovery lol. Vision stable 2 years now."
"12-hour shifts were killing my eyes. Scleral lenses helped but KC kept progressing. CXL was covered by hospital insurance. Used PTO for recovery week. Now I can actually see medication labels clearly. Game changer."
"Depth perception was getting worse, affecting my game. Coach connected me with Dr. Khanna. Had CXL during summer break, back on court in 2 weeks. Junior year was my best season. Protect your vision while you can!"
Everything you're stressed about - answered
Real talk: Days 1-2 feel like having sand in your eye (annoying but manageable with pain meds). Day 3 gets way better. Day 5 you're basically normal. Nothing compared to living with worsening vision forever. We give you numbing drops, pain meds, and Dr. Khanna's cell if you need reassurance.
YES! Keratoconus is a medical disease, not cosmetic. CXL is FDA-approved treatment. Most insurance covers 80-100% after deductible. We handle ALL paperwork, get pre-authorization, and can tell you exact costs before treatment. Payment plans available for any out-of-pocket.
Honestly? Bad idea. Keratoconus progresses fastest in your 20s. Every month = more corneal damage that CAN'T be reversed. CXL stops progression but doesn't undo existing damage. Earlier treatment = better vision saved. We can get you in this week.
CXL's job is to STOP progression - mission accomplished in 96% of cases. Bonus: 30% of patients actually see improvement! You'll still need glasses/contacts but your prescription stops changing. Some patients later get ICL or other procedures once stable.
Epi-off (epithelium removed) is gold standard - deeper penetration, stronger cross-linking, FDA-approved. Recovery is 5-7 days. Epi-on (epithelium stays) has easier recovery but less effective. Dr. Khanna recommends epi-off for maximum protection. Short recovery worth lifetime of stable vision.
Dr. Khanna typically does one eye at a time (2-4 weeks apart) so you can function during recovery. Some patients with mild KC do both together if they have good support at home. We'll discuss what's best for your lifestyle and KC severity.
Corneal mapping at 3, 6, and 12 months shows if progression stopped (it will). Your prescription stabilizing is the biggest sign. No more frequent glasses changes! Most patients say the peace of mind alone is worth it - knowing your vision is protected.
