Recently i have planned going for LASIK surgery, in the process doctors found i have keratoconus, so they suggested not to go for LASIK. Is there any way to get rid of my eye sight(economically)? Does keratoconus need any treatment? Is it dangerous?

Your surgeon was right in not operating. Keratoconus will need treatment if progressive.
