BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LED TO YOUR DIAGNOSIS OFKERATOCONUS.)  \nKeratoconus is an unpredictable degenerative eye condition that results in  \nprogressive thinning of the cornea and development of a cone-shaped bulge in the  \nfront of the eye. The consequence is reduced vision quality, visual acuity, and eye health. There is no cure for keratoconus.  \nCXL halts the progression of disease by strengthening and stabilizing the collagen lamellae in the cornea. The one-time treatment utilizes eye drops containing a riboflavin solution (vitamin B) in conjunction with an ultraviolet light source. It isan office-based procedure that can be successfully performed at the earliest clinical sign of disease.  \nCXL for treatment of keratoconus was first described in 1998 by doctors from Dresden, Germany, and has been the standard of care in Europe and around much of the world in the past two decades.  \nIn April 2016, the FDA approved CXL for the treatment of progressive keratoconus and since then, CXL has been accepted as the appropriate treatment for progressive keratoconus in the United States.  \nIn the very early and mildest form of keratoconus, eyeglasses may offer adequate vision correction. As the disease starts to advance, the ideal remedy is contact lenses which correct the defects and irregularities on the cornea and offers improved vision and comfort. However, as the disease progresses, contact lenses, even after careful fitting may not bring about serviceable vision. Prior to CXL, the only therapeutic option available when vision could no longer be corrected was a corneal transplant where the scarred and misshapen cornea is replaced with a donor cornea. These are expensive and life-changing surgeries that carry with them a lifetime risk of post-operative complications.  \n(DESCRIBE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES YOU ENCOUNTER BECAUSE OF  \nKERATOCONUS – FOR EXAMPLE, DIFFICULTY IN SCHOOL OR IN YOUR JOB OR WITH  \nDRIVING.
