Advance Kerotoconus Problem in left eye
Hi, I am a 28-year-old man and in 2008 I was diagnosed with keratoconus and advised to go LVPEI for treatment.Since 2008 i have been wearing Hard contact lenses.In 2012 i went and did C3R in my right eye but left eye was in advance stage so the procedure could not be done.Hence i continued with piggy back contact lenses in my left eye and RoseK lenses in my right eye. Till now i didnt face any issues with my vision.Binocularly my vision was 100% but since few days i am feeling discomfort in my left eye.I have a feeling of vision imbalance between my left and right eye which was not there all yrr these year. I have a feeling that if i go this time for  checkup the only option they would tell is cornea transplant.I am a software engineer and work 9-10hours a day in front of computer and phone.I am scared whether if the transplant is done how successful will it be.Will i be able to see,will my vision improve and most importantly what about my job.How soon will i be able to go back to work

Hi, You will need a detailed examination to see what is the exact cause of your vision problem. Corneal transplant is the last option in the treatment of keratoconus and there are latest advancements in transplant surgery involving only the top layers of the cornea and the success rate is pretty good nowadays with the latest techniques.
