I've recently been diagnosed with Keratoconus which is a rare eye disease that causes the cornea to thin and become distorted due to the pressure of the eye and the thinned cornea's inability to maintain an even tension & shape. At this time there is no cure, no known cause or much other real information in the way of a permenant solution to this problem. There are, of course, remedies and solutions for dealing with it that cover a wide range and more information is becoming available all the time.

At this point, I really don't know very much about Keratoconus or the available rememdies, but I hope to learn and share my experiences here.
