I found out a few days ago that I'm quickly going Blind....

11. Keratoconus is fixable with a corneal transplant

While they can do both eyes at the same time, doing both raises the risk for rejection steeply.

A corneal transplant won't make your day or even your next six months. The stitches are left in from 6 months to a year and until you get used to them (took me weeks!), it feels like you've got a kitchen scrubber under your eyelid. Moisture drops do help, but you'll use them frequently.

After everything is stable and the stitches are out, you'll be fitted for contacts. If you can tolerate contacts, your vision will be nearly perfect.

However, they don't talk transplant to you until you do go blind. You'll also be on antirejection drops forever, but they're reasonably priced.

It's a big deal of an operation, bigger than I had anticipated, but even with being unable to tolerate contacts because of another underlying disease process, my vision isn't too bad with thick glasses.

There is hope out there. Going blind is truly terrible. Being blind is just a nuisance. And knowing that there is a treatment for what ails you is priceless.
