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?

Information is very less.need to know level of keratoconus. In my point collagen crosslinking gives very good results in halting progression but all datas are to be seen and then to be decided the plan of treatment.
