Before my CXL 8 months ago I did not even own a pair of glasses as they did nothing for me so I lived in piggy back lenses.

It is relatively uncommon in the older generation (I mean +75 years) People also say there is a...

I think you are all being a bit harsh. The intended audience was not a highly informed group of kerataconus sufferers who have either a good knowledge of transplants or indeed first hand experience of them.
