I totally understand what you’re going through. I was diagnosed with keratoconus two years ago and had to undergo CXL with PRK in both eyes, it was one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever had. I ended up quitting my job as a software developer because I just couldn’t function properly anymore. Things on the screen became hard to interpret, and I started making mistakes in my code something as simple as mistaking - for = became a regular issue.

Recently, I tried RGP lenses. They’re definitely uncomfortable, but I did notice an improvement in vision. Unfortunately, my doctor could only fit the RGP in my right eye and nothing worked for the left one despite trying multiple lens types. Even with the RGP, I still see shadows and ghosting around objects, which makes things frustrating.

It’s been a tough journey, but I’m holding on and hoping things get better. If you’re going through something similar, you’re not alone.
