My left eye has high myopia at 19D and my right eye is at 4D. I was recommended ICL surgery but waiting a year since my power isn't stable my left eye changed from 18D to 19D. Now I'm noticing double vision sometimes with this new prescription. Will this get better on its own or could it be something more serious?

It's been almost 3 months since my C3R and Intacs procedure for keratoconus but my eyes are still super sensitive to light. How long does this usually last before it gets better?

Light sensitivity (photophobia) after C3R and Intacs procedures for keratoconus is common and can last for several weeks to a few months. While the initial few days might be the worst, most people see a significant improvement within 1-3 months. Some may experience lingering sensitivity, especially in bright lights or when wearing sunglasses, but it generally stabilizes.
