Keratoconus Collagen Cross-linking...

Hi all!



I'm having issues with Keratoconus. There is some context on the CAA visual requirements page which I don't quite understand.


The sentence below for a Class 1 medical highlighted in Italic is relevant to me. It states that cross linking is acceptable but I don't understand what it means when it says 'Refraction at 2 months'.
Class 1 - Refraction at 2 months and then full ophthalmological review at an AeMC at 3 months, before returning to flying.
Class 2 - Refraction at 2 months and then again at 3 months, before returning to flying.
Due to a risk of corneal haze following this procedure, an assessment is required of contrast sensitivity together with any history of symptoms such as glare, halos or starbursting before a decision is made to recertificate.




Thank you for any replies!
