As for Keratoconus Hemi. The Laser thins the Cornea out which can activate Keratoconus. In the early stages the cornea looks very similar to a normal cornea. While it may not stop who gets Keratoconus, the severity really increases with a Thinner Cornea. Also. there are some modern treatments for it that require an average or greater amount of corneal tissue. Basically if you have any risk (family hx, borderline test results, high amounts of astigmatism) you probably should not get the Laser.

ah ok. well they told me during my consultation that i had a thicker amount of corneal tissue than average, so i'm guessing i would be a lower risk? i also have no family history of eye disease that i know of and i didn't have astigmatism
