LOL at least I dont feel like I'm the only one with that now. I also hope our vision doesn't deteriorate to the point where we have to get a corneal transplant.
Kerataconus causes a good amount of astigmatism.
I also inquired about Lasik and it wont help keratoconic eyes. In fact, it would be harmful because it would involve thinning an already thinning cornea. The next step after RGP contacts will no longer provide acceptable vision is a corneal transplant though, fine tuned with a little Lasik.
