Can keratoconus be cured permanently
I have keratoconus and for now I was advised to correct my vision with the proper kind of spectacles. However, I was wondering if there is a permanent treatment. Do you know if keratoconus can be cured permanently? I don’t have problems with surgeries or any kind of medical procedures. Please note that I am 50 years old. Looking forward to answers from doctors or medical professionals.
