In reply to Wolfgang. I hope things go well and that you settle on a good doctor soon. We're fortunate to live in the age of very modern medicine, and high tech materials for correction lenses. Good luck with your vision.... there are many options becoming available. Don't hesitate to take your own knowledge to ask hard questions, and if you are not comfortable with the doctor, find another.

I have keratoconus on both eyes, it affects my vision since my fourteens but only last year i was diagnosed. So after years of glasses changes every 6 months i finally found a doctor who identified the problem (the others just said that I had high astigmatism) and started using rigid contact lenses on December, 27. There’s no way you can express what you feel when you finally see, man SEVEN YEARS with blurry vision even using glasses, I just forgot how sharp world is.
Of course the whole discovery process scares a lot, but knowing what the problem is is far more better.
Great blog, it helped to psychologically prepare for what may happen in a near future =]

In reply to mustafa. Yes, it can be done. But it should be only on the advice of your Doctor and probably performed by a LASIK surgeon your Doctor recommends (or she/he themselves.) Talk to your doctor about this!! Some LASIK places are SLEAZY!

In reply to Anne Dahlin.

Coming up soon! I remember the week before. But let me tell you what I’m looking at right now. I’ve got my mini-scleral lens on my grafted eye looking out at a nest of baby Robins. The mother is feeding the babies (which pop out to snatch it from her mouth.) I see every feather. The colors are perfect. And everything has depth now. I just want to go walking in the woods to see the ferns and insects…and look at the stars in the country. All because I went through with the surgery – and because someone donated a cornea. If I’d let myself, I’d have put it off – struggling with the cone under the radically shaped scleral lens I had with only 20/100 vision and a regular burning sensation every time a gentle puff of wind hit the eye. I’m glad I did it. The last year has flown by. I hope for you to have these kinds of results!
