Has this happened to anyone else with their vision after CXL?

General

Hello everyone. I'm 1 year and 9 days post-op CXL epi-off with grade 1/2 keratoconus. I'd like to ask if you experienced increased ghosting after this surgery and had any strange sensations with binocular vision. Also, in my case, after a few hours without using eye drops, my eye starts to feel a slight burning sensation, and if I laugh uncontrollably, my eye gets extremely red and I can't even open it for a few minutes. My eye also feels tired after a few hours of being awake, and I'm worried because I've had these symptoms for a year now. Before the CXL, I didn't have any of these issues, except for the ghosting, which I did have, but where I used to see two shadows, now I see five or six. I'd like to know if you experienced this and if it improved even after a year, and what your experience was.
