“ICL AFTER CXL”
I never had clear vision in my left eye from childhood, in 2022 I was diagnosed with karetoconus and CXL was done in 2022 only. Doctor gave me rgp lense through which I can see very much clear but the problem is I can't wear the rgp lense for more than 3,4 hours. Even after CXL,b through spectacle, I can't see anything through my left eye. If I go through ICL in my left eye, can I get the clear vision like the vision I get with the RGP lense?

this depends on the corneal shape as well as other factors. If RGP contacts are not working as well, a non-surgical option might be fitting with a scleral lens. These often can be of help and may avoid surgery.
Likely the vision will not be as good as with the RGP because that corrects all abnormalities in the cornea, which the ICL will not do. It is hard to say without seeing your cornea maps. Frank Cao
