Cornea problem
To whom it may concern,
Had cornea transplants as a result of Keratoconus in 2000. After nine years and several doctors and contact lens, I still do not have a good fit on one of my eyes. Is there anything someone could suggest to resolve my problem. Dr. Peter Hersh in NJ, where I live, suggested CK to try to make my cornea more of a normal shape so I may be fitted with a contact lens or maybe even Lasik. I considered this but it can be costly and insurance will not cover. If this is my only option I will try it. Would appreciate any insight.
Thank You,

I do not believe CK is permanent. You might consider Intacs to change the curvature enough to fit a contact lens.
