kerataconus and night blindness?

Question

is there a strong connection?
I find it almost impossible to see at night.
Anything I can do to help improve this.
I have keratoconus and have undergone one cornea transplant

Answer 1

Yes, there is a connection:

People with early keratoconus typically notice a minor blurring of their vision and come to their clinician seeking corrective lenses for reading or driving. At early stages, the symptoms of keratoconus may be no different from those of any other refractive defect of the eye. As the disease progresses, vision deteriorates, sometimes rapidly. Visual acuity becomes impaired at all distances, and night vision is often quite poor.

When did you undergo your surgery?

All corneal transplant cases require careful follow-up with an eye surgeon (ophthalmologist) for a number of years. Frequently, vision is greatly improved after the surgery, but even if the actual visual acuity does not improve, because the cornea is a more normal shape after the healing is completed, patients can more easily be fitted with corrective lenses. Complications of corneal transplants are mostly related to vascularization of the corneal tissue and rejection of the donor cornea. Vision loss is very rare, though difficult-to-correct vision is possible. When rejection is severe, repeat transplants are often attempted, and are frequently successful. Keratoconus will not normally reoccur in the transplanted cornea; incidences of this have been observed, but are usually attributed to incomplete excision of the original cornea or inadequate screening of the donor tissue. The long-term outlook for corneal transplants performed for keratoconus is usually favorable once the initial healing period is completed and a few years have elapsed without problems.

You should see a specialist for expert advice. Hope this helps..

Answer 2

I Googled your question to learn what it is and learned there are contacts to help the problem.

Are you taking a good array of vitamins? Your body always needs so many vitamins and minerals. So be certain to take a good quality multivitamin mornings at least. But if I had this problem, I would do it twice a day just to know I have taken all the necessary things to help my vision out.

After Googling it says vitamins B, C, E and carotines will be needed for your eyes.

It may not fix the problem but it may help. I do not know your age, but this month my husband and I have learned that with age many things can go wrong with your eyes.

So take care.
