Hey something we have in common.  I have keratoconus in both eyes.  My left
is the worst of the two.  I wear special keratoconus styled hard contact
lenses that give me around 20/25 vision in my right eye on the good days
and around 20/30 or 20/35 vision in my left eye.  With glasses I'm legally
blind in my left eye, and the big E on the eye chart is blurry with my
right eye with glasses.  Since my vision is pretty decent with hard
contacts, I'm putting off the cornea transplant stuff for now.  I'm not
aware of eye laser surgery that can correct the vision of people like us
with keratoconus, but I may not have the most current information.

With no glasses or contacts I'm legally blind in both eyes.  I'm sure you
know what I mean.
