Have severe bilateral keratoconus. Using mini sclera lens at present with partially corrected vision in both eyes. Want to know what is the ucva that I can expect after undergoing dalk? Will I still have to wear contacts or will spectacles correct the vision. Regards.

Hi lybrate-user even after dalk you need to wear glasses as the procedure is correcting the pathology of kertoconus and not a refractive surgery. Sure the unva will improve after dalk but you have to wear glasses or lenses. Exact vision can't be predicted before surgery.
