I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Ultimately, the progression of keratoconus is unpredictable. This can happen quickly or over a period of several years. It usually begins around puberty and progresses fastest up till you turn 25. The younger someone is at their diagnosis, the more likely they will experience fast progression. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
