Tell people that you have KC. There are leaflets available on the site that you can download and hand them to people like your employer etc.

I reckon that it is up to us to raise the general awareness of KC in our own communities, so that people have an opportinity to understand our condition and how it is likely to affect us.

An example is that for a long time I was unable to recognize people whom I met. But when people knew that I had an eye condition, they did not take offense, but came up to me and said hello.
