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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
