There are lot of research has been going on and lots of new technologies have been developed. So nothing to worry KC has a solution too. In early stages you can go for cross linking procedure to strengthen your cornea. In later stages you can wear lenses or can go for transplant. Transplant is also not a bad option. The success ratio comes very high for KC.
