Call to confirm the service is done at the location you plan to visit, and who performs it.
Ask whether the visit is billed to medical or vision coverage, and for written estimates on lens fitting or cross-linking.
Ask your current eye doctor for a referral and to send your corneal maps.

Independent organizations with their own criteria. We don't control or verify their lists, and inclusion there is not a KeratoconusRegistry listing.
