Hi You are having keratoconus in RE.It is treatable with corneal collagen cross linking procedure.It is effective and stops cornea from more thinning.There are multiple reasons for that and one of it is more frequent and excessive rubbing of eyes.Can consult cornea specialist and follow the next procedure.It is definitely better to go for treatment and than waiting and worrying.Don’t worry you can have normal vision and doesn’t effect looks in any way.All the best to reach your goal.
