My Appointment at SNEC

It was my second visit to SNEC, and this time I had waited relatively shorter to be seen by Dr. Lim Li.  I had waited only an hour plus. After my orb scan, a consultant had attended to me first.  She had assured me that for my case, it's relatively mild and should not be affecting me too much except for the poor vision.  After that, Dr. Lim Li came and said the same thing.  She told me that Keratoconus would usually stops developing when the patient becomes 40, and she wouldn't worry so much about me as I'm already 36.  Only 4 more years to go.  The orb scan scan shows that my corneal had become thinner by 5 nm.  It should be quite save for me not to take any actions at all.

Hmph.  That's quite different from Dr. Anna Tan, another Eye Specialist with NUH Eye Surgery Clinic.  She told me that I should be wearing the hard lenses to see if it could slow down the progression of the keratoconus, and I ought to be thinking if I wanted to do the Cross-linking procedures.

Anyway, since Dr. Lim Li was the expert in Keratoconus and Cross-linking, I decided to heed her advice.  Will be seeing her in 18 months, and in the meantime, I'd canceled my appointment with NUH Eye Surgery Center.

Wish me good luck!

Ps:  Anyone any idea if Keratoconus really stops progressing after 40 years of age?  Or any comments on SNEC, NUH Eye Surgery Center, Dr. Lim Li, and Dr. Anna Tan?  Do feel free to drop a comment below.  Thanks.
