Not everyone diagnosed with keratoconus will need cross-linking (CXL). In some patients for example, the condition naturally stabilises earlier than in others. Certain risk factors (such as younger age) can increase the likelihood of your keratoconus getting worse.
The figures in the table below show how likely you are to need cross-linking over the next few years. For example, if there is a 25% chance your right eye will need CXL two years after this appointment, this means that there is a 75% chance you will not need CXL during that same time period.
This tool should however not be used in isolation to make clinical decisions. Only your eye care specialist can advise you when and if treatment is advised
