What exactly is KC?

I have a thing in my eyes, where when there's extreme stress my vision gets unclear.

I've discovered that taking vitamin B12 helps quite a lot. Not in one day, but over a few days. I think it's because B12 is good with nerves, and the sight problem I have must be related to the optic nerve.

I found this when I searched to see what KC is:

There's a lot more info on the site, but I've just copied & pasted the section on treatment options below.

Hope it helps!

TREATMENT OPTIONS

The treatment approach to keratoconus follows an orderly progression from glasses to contact lenses to corneal transplantation.   Glasses are an effective means of correction mild keratoconus.  As the cornea steepens and becomes more irregular, glasses are no longer capable of providing adequate visual improvement.  Corneal transplant surgery is indicated when a patient cannot wear contact lenses for an acceptable period of time or when the vision, even with contacts, is unsatisfactory.  Over 90% of corneal transplants are successful with the majority of patients obtaining vision of 20/40 or better afterwards with either glasses or contact lenses.

A gas permeable contact lens is the most highly effective way to manage keratoconus and 90% of all cases can be managed this way indefinitely. If the cornea becomes too scarred or painful, a corneal transplant may be necessary.
