I had detected keratoconous in my left eye with
Central corneal thickness 536 and minimum corneal thickness 514
My VA is 6/9 and eyeglass number spherical -1.75 cylindrical -1.00 axis 120, Dr had asked to again repeat topography test after 3 months too comment further.
What treatment would be good for me, i don't want to go with hard contact lenses, i had seen videos of Doctors online for good corneal thickness along with C3R TCAT or TPRK could be done at the same time this would reduce the irregularities in eye and after that we could get very good vision with eye glasses, i had asked this similar thing to my doctor but he said that they prefer plain c3r after that hard contact lenses for better visual acuity.
I believe sceral lense are for extreme cases of keratoconous and are very expensive and i am having mild to moderate keratoconous.
Please suggest what can be better procedure for me
Thanks !

C3R is a stabilizing surgery and will be done when keratoconus is progressive, which will be seen on repeating corneal topography at regular intervals. Once progression has been stabilized, then contact lenses or keratoplasty will be planned accordingly
