The last time I went to the opticians, I told them that my vision had been worsening a little.

It’s not so much that I can’t see things that are nearby or far away but that I seem to experience a lot of vision blurring without other worrying symptoms like feeling faint or dizzy.

It’s odd because until my mid-twenties, I hadn’t really experienced vision issues but over the past decade, I have noticed that my eyes are really struggling to focus a lot of the time and if I don’t wear my glasses, it’s near impossible for me to even read a book.

Outwith the small text on a book though, everything is still crystal clear. It’s so frustrating. 

Turns out, my cornea is cone-shaped

Following some tests and realising that my right eye simply *cannot* read any part of a standard eye test when the left one is covered, my optician said she wanted to get a closer look at the cornea of my right eye.

Huh?

Following a proper review, she told me that I have developed the degenerative eye disease keratoconus in both eyes but far more pronounced in my right eye........
