Hi, mine progressed quite quickly after diagnosis as a child, requiribg surgery.
it seems the condition varies quite a lot between individuals:
The course of the disorder can be quite variable, with some patients remaining stable for years or indefinitely, while others progress rapidly or experience occasional exacerbations over a long and otherwise steady course. Most commonly, keratoconus progresses for a period of 10 to 20 years before the course of the disease generally ceases in the third and fourth decades of life.
