KERATOCONUS

What is Keratoconus ?

Keratoconus is a disease of the cornea in which the cornea , instead of being uniformly round in shape , tends to become conical , leading to progressive loss of vision.

Contact lenses with higher water content may help to some extent, but once dryness in your eyes starts, any lens would trouble you similarly.
Still, one way out is to take a trial of different lenses with highest water content and see for yourself.

If you are more 19 years of age, no chance of increase in myopic power & your power is just -0.75D RT eye &-1.5D Lt eye .You are short sighted& don't need glasses for near work eg reading ,writing etc ,you need glasses or contact lens for only distance vision eg watching TV etc, for such minor power I will never advise you for LASIK or Smile. You can take plenty of green vegetables along with balanced diet & put some lubricating eye drops 3-4 times a day (genteal eye drops).
