I'm 35 years old and have worn glasses or contacts since I was 11.
I recently had a corneal topography done during pre-Lasik exam. There was some yellow in the right scan, indicating possible abnormality, despite "pristine" external corneas and d numbers.
Over the past 10 years (ages 25 to 35) my right eye went from a .5 to a 2.25 astigmatism, while my left eye went from 0 to .75. Between the yellow scan and the Rx history, I was told I have subclinical keratoconus.
My question is: is there any other explanation for this level of change in astigmatism over a 10-year period? For example, my work during the same time period has involved hours in front of computer screens every day, whereas before this was not the case.
