Bit of a weird topic but I'm interested in your thoughts.
I was thinking, if I was a billionaire and money was no object, what would I do to treat my Keratoconus.
If you could get any treatment or see any consultant/expert - what would you do? It has to be within the realm of possibility, no replacing your eyes with lasers!

Re: Money no object consultant/treatment
personally I wouldn't as view things as I was fortunate to be born sighted, sadly life had a different path for me n that was to develop KC n it to leave me legally blind despite umpteen surgeries, I have adapted ot the sight loss and wont allow it to stop me in life.
May09 Diagnosed with KC, March 2010 after a failed transplant it has left me legally blind a long cane user (since 2010) who is blind in a once sighted world

Re: Money no object consultant/treatment
Only a little bit science fiction from me...
There have already been experimental patients who have had a (small) number of artifical pixels interfaced to their optic nerve. I'd use my squillions to speed up this research and give me an HD level of pixels. 6 million dollar man? Nah, it will cost FAR more than that!

Re: Money no object consultant/treatment
I was thinking to myself, apart from not having to worry about how to pay for say CXL, being a millionaire would make no difference. KC is sort of a level playing field in that regard.
I like that idea - replace my corneas with a 4K sensor or something!
