Tips to Improve Your Vision During the Day:

Getting Rest: While this may sound a bit strange, resting your eyes a little more each day can help relieve some of the strain they are feeling. This can give you a fresh view, and may keep some of the blurred vision to a minimum.

Avoid eye strain: If you are having difficultly seeing, don’t strain your eyes to see. Simply rest and only use your vision when needed. Resting your eyes can help you gain strength for when your vision is truly needed.

Avoid driving at night: Many people struggle with increased problems concerning night vision. It is wise to avoid driving at night all together until you can improve your quality of vision through treatments for Keratoconus. Making sure you are safe is top priority. Getting to the eye doctor and planning a path to treatment is the greatest option after all the car will still be there later.
