Does anyone else have warped corneas?

I'm not sure if they used that word. They always say warped corneas. However, I do remember once, they said the surface of my eye was too flat so I'm not so sure about the cone shape. I don't have much vision in my left eye even with a thick lens correction. Now, my right eye has started, and I'm scared to death. These doctors aren't suggesting much of anything and acting like I shouldn't be concerned. I have panic attacks over not being able to get clear vision or really any real vision in the left eye with glasses. I have thought about the Sclera lenses but I have tiny eyes and not sure if I could ever get them in and they are so expensive! For years now, I've been getting new updated prescription lenses ($300 to $600 each time) that I can't even see with by the time they are made and delivered to me which is usually about a week. I just sit and cry.

I also suffer with eye problems but they just burn daily! I just wanted to send my prayers to you because I know personally about the crying daily, and to feel helpless. I finally made up in my mind to let go and let God, he’s the best doctor I know, and I have strong faith that one day I will either be healed or cured!🙏🏽
It sounds to me like you need a medical consultation with a cornea specialist, and don't leave until you understand the name of the problem, the possible progression, and all options for management. I'm a retired eye doc, and it is the standard of care to make sure the patient understands, or a representative for the patient understands the condition. Please seek another opinion, with a doctor who will take the time to teach you about what is going on.

Hasn’t anyone recommended corneal transplants. Had keratoconus so bad glasses were useless, had to piggyback contact lenses. Finally nothing helped,was legally blind . My only option were corneal transplants . What a difference taking my diseased corneas out and putting healthy ones in. 15 years later my vision got bad again and the only contacts I could wear are Scelera contacts. Vision is so crisp but to me not user friendly and extremely expensive. Takes way too long to put them in . ( my eyes are small also) so back to glasses. Now I have myopic degenerative in my left eye ( nothing to do with cornea transplants) just bad eyes. Any questions let me know
