I've been dealing with keratoconus in both my eyes, and it's been about 2.5 months since I had the C3R and Intacs procedures. I'm still experiencing a lot of light sensitivity. Is that normal, and how long might it take for the sensitivity to improve?

Question

I'm really worried because my eyes get really watery whenever I'm exposed to light for too long. It becomes really noticeable, like when I have a retina checkup and the doctor uses that bright torch light. My eyes just start tearing up a lot, and it seems like they're getting more sensitive to light over time. Im curious to know what might be causing this issue and what I can do to fix it. Could you help me understand what's happening and how it can be treated?

Question

I've been using eye drops and noticed an improvement in my vision. Are these drops actually being absorbed by the eye lens? I'm really curious if that's what's helping my vision get better.

Question

I'm dealing with this issue where my eyes start burning randomly, and when it happens, it can last the whole day with intervals of around 23 hours. I'm currently on atomoxetine, which I've read can rarely cause dilated pupils. I've attached a picture of my eyes. Could there be any other reasons for this, and is there anything I can do to help it?
