I am Jeremiah Wenzel. I was diagnosed with Keratocnus initially June 27, 2016 and confirmed at the specialty clinic July 11, 2016. Mysteriously I managed to live most of my life with my left eye suffering from Keratocnus to the point that by the time it was detected i needed a cornea transplant.

I am very into computers and all things Technology and it is my hope that I eventually get employment as a Server/Network Administrator. This blog is self hosted and I manage the operations of the underlying server that this blog runs on.

My hobbies involve gaming and building computers and liquid cooling loops for computers. I have two cats which I enjoy messing around with.

Before I was to undergo my cornea transplant I decided to create this blog to document my experiences regarding dealing with Keratoconus and the recovery from the operation.

What is Keratoconus?

Keratoconus is an eye disease where the collagen in your cornea fails to maintain the structure of the cornea. As a result your cornea begins to buldge in a cone shame resulting in the thinning of the cornea. This typically starts to happen during your puberty stage of life but can happen at a younger or older age.

What are the symptoms?

The symptoms of Keratoconus can include

• Gradually decreasing vision
• Astigmatism that only gets worse
• Halo’s surrounding sources of light
• Light/sun sensitivity
• Light’s streaking
• Seeing double/ghost images
