I am 24 and I have keratoconus in both of my eyes and doctor has suggested me c3r. I am really afraid of this. It is in my early stage. Can you please tell me what diet should I take to get rid of this? Thanks.

good that you have chosen to recover from keratoconus through diet. In fact it can be healed pretty quickly as it being the condition of dietary deficiencies. However, doctors choose invasive treatments like surgery!!! , without correcting the underlying deficiencies.
In simple terms, keratoconus is thinning of cornea due to excessive oxidative stress mainly from food (sugars, soda, refined carbs & junk food) leading to deficiency of Vitamin C, D along with A and B vitamins.
One of my family member recently went through the same problem and doctors advised surgery for correction. Since, we were against any invasive treatments, instead chose dietary approach along with Vit.D supplementation. We could reverse / normalize keratoconus by following this simple protocol and vision is back to normal in about 6 to 8 weeks.
a) Vitamin C: 1000mg 3 times a day. As Vit.C is very important for building the collagen matrix (building block for cornea).
b) Anti-Oxidants: 2 ~3 glasses of green / vegetable juices two or three times a day for adequate Vit.A and Vit.B complex and minerals. Any dark leafy vegetable (like Spinach, Carrots, Cucumber, Tomato, Gooseberry, Lauki etc list is endless).
c) Vitamin D: We tend to think vit.d is just for bones which is only tip of iceberg. If my haunch is right, you would be extremely low in vit.d. Better to get Vit.D tested by simple blood test. If the level is low (normal being 70 - 100 nanograms/dL), to supplement with:
- Sun bath 30min/day (between 10AM- 3PM). At times it may be little difficult for various reasons...else,
- Supplementation with Vit.D3 (available in the dosages of 60k) one or two tablets per week.
d) Castor Oil: 3~4 drops to each eye, 3or 4 times day will work wonders in strengthening the eye and improving vision as it is rich in Vit.E. You will be surprised to see the amount of cellular debris / calcium deposits that would exude after few days.
e) Wellman phama has a multivitamin product "VISION-ACE" specially formulated with Vitamin & Minerals required for eye health / vision. This will speed up your recovery by providing other important micro minerals like Iodine, Copper, Zinc, Magnesium etc.
By incorporating these steps a) to e) along with good intake of drinking water atleast 2-3 liters/day, you will be on your way to recovery and healing.
All the best.

Hi Ravee,My son is 12 years old and using glasses since last one year (-3.25 in both eyes) and recently went for regular checkup and doctor has prescribed higher power (-4.0 in both eyes). He also did Corneal topography and that is when it was found that his left is in red zone whereas the right eye is fine. Corneal thickness is also good in both the eyes. So the doctor suggested us to get the corneal topography done once again after six months to confirm if it is keratoconus or not. If it proves to be keratoconus then he said there is a non-invasive treatment called Collagen Crosslinking. But I am bit afraid of those medical procedures and searching for natural ways to cure it and found your post.
I request you to provide some more details of your family member's current condition and how it was before following the protocol you mentioned etc. Any additional information would be very helpful. Please let me know if I can get it in touch with your directly as I want to clarify few things before I start the protocol for my son. Thanks, Giri

I just read your comment and would like to know how you came up with this protocol? Are you a doctor? My brother has Keratocones and wears the contact lens but has a hard time putting them in, he does not like anything close to his eye. I am a huge reader of Alternative medicine but also like to do my due dilegence before I start a protocol.
Thank you, Laura

I have keratoconus and was advised to have surgery. In the weeks leading up to surgery I took supplements to try to regain as much of my vision as possible before the procedures. It didn't seem to work, but I didn't have much time to work with as I feared I would continue losing my vision. I had C3-R, intacs and CK, as advised by Dr. Boxer Wachler in Los Angeles. He's actually the one who performed my surgeries. It has been over a year since I've had all 3 procedures and my vision isn't significantly better, though my keratoconus looks to have stabilized. I wish I could say I'm healed, but that's not the case.
I experience mental anguish on a daily basis because I feel as though I missed my chance to get my 20/20 vision back, and wasted a ton of money in the process. I'm looking for alternative methods to rectify my vision, and am open to vitamins and eastern healing methods. My fear is that I have squandered my chance at healing away by getting intacs, which I presume would keep the current shape of my eyes in tact even if the vitamins or alternative methods start to heal me, thus negating the potential to be healed. Have you encountered a case like mine before? Do you think I'm still a candidate for healing, even having undergone all of the procedures?
Thanks, J
