Re: Back from hospital appointment :(

Re: Hi I am totally confused
Thanks lia
Well I was told my astigmatism is low, left eye -3.75 right eye -3 so what is confusing me is then why can't glasses correct my keratconus because it is so low and why do I have monocular double vision, glare, halos if it's so low ?
