anyone have keratoconus?
by V52, Apr 05, 2007 12:00AM
This is a rare problem, I think, not general eye problem. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with probable keratoconus. The cornea loses its cone shape making vision fuzzy. I had an orb scan that was inconclusive. The Dr. I saw said this was the one contraindication for keratotamy surgery and he used to perform the surguries. It was his gut feeling and said I should come back in 6 months and we could find out for sure with another exam to compare to the 1st one. My vision, despite being set to 20/20 was still "fuzzy" but not bad. Just annoying.
Does anyone else have this diagnosis? How many have ended up with cornea transplants? How fast? What kind of Dr. should I see? Are there any preventative measures I can take?
Thanks for any info!
