Ever heard about an eye disease called Keratoconus?

Answers:

I recently found out i have it. At present my eyesight is OK but it's noticably much worse than it was two years ago.
How did I feel when i found out? Well, put it this way, I was diagnosed almost a year ago and i've done nothing about it since I read up on it when i got home that day but when i saw words like 'support group' and 'corneal transplant' i just decided i don't want to think about it. Basically i'm kind of in denial. i don't know much about it and i'm not sure i want to. i guess the time will come when I'll have to deal with it but until then I just can't bring myself to consider the possibility of loosing my sight. If i'm really honest with myslef, yes, i'm scared. I really have no idea what to expect over the next few years. Will I be able to drive? play sports? draw? what about reading? I think i could cope with losing all the others but reading? I don't think i could manage if i lost that? what can I expect? I say all this not really wanting to know the answers. I want to hide and pretend this is not true for as long as i can.
