I know it is a concern of the opthalmic industry that this may be possible which is why in the UK anyone going for this treatment is carefully screened.

There are a number here who have been diagnosed with KC when they got screened to see if they could go ahead with the lasik surgery.

The slightest hint that you may have KC and they will refuse to do Lasik in this country.
