Keratoconus Part 3

A year has come and gone since Todd had his first eye surgery. I wish I had good news to report but for the most part, that is not the case.
There is so much about Todd's eyes that I want to communicate that I'm not sure what is the most effective way to do that. My hope is that if someone is researching Keratoconus  they might come across these posts and will help them in some of the decision making they might be faced with. If this happens to be you, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions or suggestions concerning this condition.
On May 22nd Todd had cataract surgery on his left eye. The goal has been to get the vision in his left eye as good as possible before starting on the right eye surgeries. The left eye was the worst eye so that's how that decision was made.
Immediately after the surgery he could tell there was improvement in clarity and color. This was very encouraging since he noticed no change after the Intacts surgery. Once again, he wasn't able to wear a contact lens on that eye for 3 weeks. Dr. Falknor was willing to let Todd wear a lens on it sooner but by the time he got in to the ophthalmologist and they ordered his new lens it was about 3 weeks any way.
Now that he's had 2 surgeries on his left eye his depth perception is worse so judging the distance of an object while driving is very difficult. We are looking into ways to use public transportation to get him to and from work but because of where we live and where he works it doesn't seem to be an option. Last week I was making phone calls to see what was available and the best option would take him more than 2 hrs. to get to work. Right now he works 4 10 hour days so that would make it a 14+ hour day! He might as well just live down there!
One of the additional frustrations is his job. His manager has been less than understanding about Todd's vision. I think that because Todd doesn't wear glasses (they don't correct the shape of the cornea and that's the only thing that affects his vision) people can't imagine that he has such severe vision problems. I know that before I met Todd I would have thought that!
This has really been a difficult journey, Todd doesn't complain but occasionally he'll compare his vision to something (i.e. looking through shower glass) or like the other night when we went to watch our 13 yr. old son in his first football game he mentioned how hard it was to try to watch something like that and that it really take the joy out of the event. The other day when I got on the computer he had been researching "Careers the Blind", that's when I know he is really questioning what the late term results of his vision problems will be. We know it is all in God's hands.
