No need to apologise for your English. I am Scottish and struggle sometimes to cope with english as it is spoken (or rather written) by other native speakers from within the United Kingdom.
Welcome to the forum
Will you let us know how things go at your appointment in Tuesday?
Which part of Mexico?

If it is Keratoconus don't panic. The forum is populated by people who have lived with the same fear and alarm. Soemtimes we are up and sometimes we are down, but by and large we get on with life and cope.
I have found that if I take each day in turn, and let the worries of tomorrow wait until tomorrow comes, then I can get along pretty well.
All the best

Ed,
A vast majority of KC patients condition is managed with glasses or contact lenses. Your sight will probably be checked on a regular basis to monitor the condition.
If you end up with contact lenses, there are many types as we are all individual and many techniqies to give good lens comfort and wear times.
For a vast majority, once a management strategy is in place we live a normal life with relativley little impact on our lives.
Many specialists mention grafts which sounds scary, but in reality only a small proportion of people need this and those that do, it is often after having lived with the condition for a good many years.
Regards
Gareth

Welcome to the forum!
Its hard to say if you have KC, as your affects could be induced by mild astigmatism.......I guess until you see the consultant its very hard to offer any advice; aside that if you DO have it....this place is a fantastic resource for information!

KC is about facing the challenges it creates rather than accepting the problems it generates -

Hallo Eduardo. Welcome to the forum.
Yes, "ghost" double images are very common in KC.
At the time my KC was developing, my dad had just bought a new camera and was trying to teach me how to take photos with it. It had a viewfinder that showed the picture twice. You adjusted the focus until the two images were inthe same place, then the camera was properly focused.
I ust couldn't tell when these two images were together or not, as i could see each of them double - and still see two images even when other people could only see one.
No-one could understand this - including me!
Best of luck on Tuesday.
