As of today I have reached the 6 year mark of my official diagnosis of Keratoconus. 7/11/2016 was the day that I went to Wolfe Eye Clinic after being referred to them by Miller’s Family Eye Care due to their suspicion of me having Keratoconus.

Still don’t quite get how I managed to let things go undetected for so long. With how my dominant eye was doing ok in the morning but crap by evening that the doctors wouldn’t be able to find anything wrong.

Always take changes in your vision serious and do your daily eye exam you might be surprised to find an improvement in vision. You could even discover your developing diabetes enough in advance before any noticeable symptoms show up, the eye is the first thing that can be effected by diabetes.

Also if your doctor isn’t checking for Keratoconus if your prescription is changing frequently or you are prepping for LASIK i’d advise you to find someone else

Today marks my 5th year anniversary of having my keratoconus diagnosis confirmed. I also learned that my left eye was already bad enough to need a cornea transplant to restore vision enough to be considered useable.

It doesn’t feel like it could have been 5 years but it has 7/11/2016 was the day I had the initial diagnosis of keratoconus that Millers Family Eye Care that got me referred over to Wolfe Eye Clinic confirmed.

As a result things started to head in the right direction and I owe all of this to getting a second opinion and if I would have listened to the first I would have been in a much worse situation potentially causing my cornea to rupture.

As of now I get nearly 20/20 in my left eye and 20/20 in my right thanks to scleral contacts.
