Can bad eye make good eye bad?
I have a question....My left eye has pretty bad KC and my right eye had it just very little. But I am noticing lately that my right eye is starting to bother me a little more, and is starting to get a bit more ghosting. Does the sight in the bad eye make the good one worse? Does the KC kind of "spread" over into the good one?

KC does not spread from one eye to another, but it is very likely if you have KC on one eye then it appears in other too soon or later...a think

Alvin is right: one eye does not "catch" KC from the other, but KC does develop in one eye first and then the other.
My first eye was the right, and then the left followed with clinical KC within a year.

I also found that my "good" eye, and brain, had to work harder to compensate for my bad eye. This was most noticeable after surgery on my bad eye.
