I'm a 29-year-old guy who's been told I need squint correction surgery and I'm kinda nervous about it. Can you tell me what the success rate is for this surgery so I know what to expect?

Question

I have keratoconus in both eyes and I'm really confused about my options. One doctor suggested surgery while another said contact lenses are better than surgery and recommended trying them first. I'm only 17 and not sure what to choose should I go for contacts or consider surgery right away? What would be the best option for someone my age?

My medical exam for SSC CPO SI is in March and I have a power of -0.50 and -0.75 in my eyes but I've never used glasses. Is it possible to recover my vision naturally in 2 months at age 25? Are there any options besides laser surgery that could help me pass the eye test?
