KERATOCONUS
I am in my late 20's and fly for a major U.S. airline. I recently was diagnosed with mild-advanced Keratoconus. I was fitted for RGP (Gas Permeable) contacts, but could not tolerate those when duty days were between 10 - 15 hours. I opted to have whats called the intacs procedure and my vision although not a whole lot better has improved and now I am able to wear soft contact lenses. This condition is rare and it happens to 1 out of every 2000 people. Just curious to see if any one else is in this elite club, and would like to share their thoughts.
