Read everything you can about KC, resist rubbing your eyes and develop a good relationship with your lens specialists

Just follow your doctor's instructions and don't panic with your vision might be getting poor. Just have faith and be positive. One thing to remember, you will never lose your vision completely in KC so be relaxed.

Keep Calm. Keratocunus is not the end of your life.
Need some adjusts to have an almost normal life.
Contact lens and control advance, if remains stable dont worry, if note vision worse every 6 months have controls, if is more agressive some surgeries can help to stabilize
