Chang Reaction Episode 22: Can Vitamins Stop My Keratoconus Progression?

Chang Reaction: Episode 22!
In this episode, Dr. Chang discusses the following common KC Questions:
★ "If there is no hereditary evidence, can keratoconus be caused by eye rubbing and vitamin D3 deficiency? Can KC be stopped by taking a supplement?"
★ "My contacts seems to move around and slip toward my bottom eyelid. Can I move them up, or do I need to take them out & start over?"
★ "Is there anything that can be done with scleral lenses to eliminate distortion when looking down? They distort the ground in front of me when walking so that the ground looks like it's coming up."

Have we done studies to confirm keratoconus progression is not stopped with vitamin D3 supplementation? And at what level of vitamin D3?
