   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know this treatment aims to slow keratoconus or corneal ectasia; it may not improve my vision or restore a normal shape.
   • I review the benefits, alternatives, and risks, including pain, infection, slow healing, haze, scarring, and vision loss.
   • I complete corneal maps and thickness checks and stop contact lenses for the exact time ordered before my measurements.
   • I report all medicines, allergies, pregnancy, dry eye, autoimmune disease, prior eye surgery, and any past eye infection.
