Vitamins D,B,K and Magnesian can help regress Keratoconus. And also eating a green diet helps alot too. Stop watching tv and phones. Give your eyes. I get in tune with nature and think postive all the time.

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone has family connections to KC. When our 14 year old son, Alex was diagnosed (November 2008) with KC, we were told that this can be a hereditary/genetic disease. When we started looking into this further, we could not find anyone in both families that have ha...
