Diagnosed with Keratoconus

Hello folks,

I need some advice from this forum. I recently got diagnosed with Keratoconus. It's very early in the right eye (I see glare in this) and the left eye is all good for now. I saw two doctors.

- One doctor told me to do corneal cross linking as soon as I can, it can be decided in 1-2 months but it has to be done since progression happens and better to do this considering it doesn't have any side effects.

- Another doctor said to observe for 4 months and get the scan done again. If it progresses then we will do cross linking, she said since I am 32 there is a probability it will not progress.

Is there any harm in going with cross linking just to be safe ? Only thing coming in my mind is why to do it if it is not needed now, as per other doctor.
