Still as Emma says we are lucky we can moan about it and there remains a chance of eyesight being restored again to differing degrees. In Australia when applying for jobs we have to undergo medicals (which I have failed in the past for obvious reasons) and declare previous medical op’s. Of course no employer (and fair enough) wants to know and I find this discrimination wears me down more than the actual initial keratoconus ad subsequent transplants ! I also get “floaties” in front of my eyes that interfere with my sight but roll on the next transplant and many thanks to all those donors and their families not to mention the surgeons. Many thanks again for the pictures

I’ve been struggling with this for 17 years and still fail miserably when trying to explain to people what and how I actually see. I’m at the advance stage now and legally blind in one eye with the other closly copying! It’s a truly awful frustrating condition but I’m still here and able to moan about it so that’s a positive…lol. Thanks again x

Glad to hear crosslinking helped you. It was not an option for me as my KC was too advanced.

Thanks for posting these images. I have seen these floating around Google, but how else are we to explain how we see to the masses? No one gets it! Sorry you had to get a transplant. I was spared due to bilateral cross-linking last summer and got a huge vision improvement in my “bad” eye, which was wonderful. Goodbye “multiple images” of everything; I won’t miss you. Good luck on your KC journey…
