If you have KC in both eyes you should report your condition to the DVLA. They will arrange eyetests and let you know if you can drive.

If your driving sight depends on contact lenses you should not under any circumstances drive without lenses in.

(Actually, in my case, the DVLA accepted the eye tests I got at the hospital contact lens clinic).
