I also have this disease, I have been suffering from it since i was 17, I am now 30. This disease IS genetic despite what the video implies. I know this because my brother and I both have it. I was finally diagnosed in 2003 after getting tired of changing perscriptions on my glasses every year for 6 years. I now wear RGP contacts. My Brother is 37 and his condition progressed much further than my own. He got tested for all the wrong things 'til I told him to go to my eye doctor for testing.

This is the eye disease I have. This brought me to tears because I know exactly how she feels/felt. She could only see 8-10 feet in front of her. I can only see 1 foot in front of me. I wasn't as fortunate, my Keratoconus has advanced to its most severe stage and I have been declared Legally Blind. Please share this video so that more people can be healed like this young girl.

i had a cornea transplant due to kerataconus 10 years ago. LASIK 8 years ago and I see 20/20 in that eye. Intacs hadn't been FDA approved yet. Still my Doc in Dallas, Dr. Bowman, is the best. My other eye has mild KC and I'll be getting an intra ocular lens for it in a couple of years. From all I've heard from Intacs are a very good option for KC. I believe that the cost per eye is around 4,500 but some insurances don't cover it.

such a touchin story. i wish i could have that done . i've been diagnosed for 6 years now.

Does any insurance cover this? I was diagnosed in 2007, my senior year of high school and my life has been in a constant decline along with my vision. If anyone has any info please respon d to me...THANKS

what!? i want Iris!
I was so stressed and miserable thinking I have to get a cornea transplant because the contact lenses aren't useful any more. I never heard of this procedure and it looks way more manageable for me. I am only 24 with keratoconus and I can't work or get disability. I will definitely look into getting tactics. Such a touching story.
