You probably already know about this (especially since you likely had cross-linking done), but your vision might be helped by a custom scleral lens (they're unfortunately somewhat expensive).

Thanks for the tip, though yeah I have (: Fortunately, the brain is magical. It's mostly one eye that saw progression before my cross-linking-- the other one sees pretty clearly, so my brain has gotten used to it and I guess stitches things in a way that means most of the time I don't really notice it at all.

If I close the good eye, or focus on high-contrast, fine-detail things the effect will be clear, but I can thankfully go on my day to day without much hassle.

Few people will see this but I'll mention it for good measure. If you notice your glasses aren't quite right, or you need a new (especially if it's a very asymmetrical) graduation often, make sure to see an ophthalmologist. The earlier you detect keratoconus the earlier you can stop it from progressing-- I'm certainly lucky I caught it before both eyes were really affected.
