Answers:
Unfortunately, procedures like LASIK wont' help. In fact, a good LASIK surgeon always has to do their best to ensure that a patient isn't likely to be having a pre-keratoconus condition.
It's still controversial, but there are some physicians who are using intracorneal rings (INTACS) to help patients with keratoconus.
I would check with one of the major university hospitals in your area (e.g. UCLA, Wills, Johns Hopkins, etc) and see a corneal specialist.
