Keratoconus Support
We encourage Keratoconus patients to discuss their condition openly with their eye care practitioner. Ask questions and learn as much as you can about the condition as lack of knowledge often creates the most fear or anxiety.
It is also important that you talk freely about your condition with family, friends and employers to ensure they understand your condition. We also recommend you talk to other keratoconus patients. The mutual sharing of experiences can be very reassuring.
Importantly, keratoconus should not stop you from accomplishing your goals. People from all walks of life have experienced this disorder and succeeded!
