Keratoconus military waiver?

So I enlisted in the military in the fall of '09 but got DQd (not permanently) at MEPS for keratoconus which is were i found out i even had it.
since then, i had a surgery called the CXL which was a success then got a pair of contact lenses to give me 20/20 on both eyes.
i found a recruiter willing to help me try to enlist again after he heard my story.
is there any advice, help or anything that could better my chances of joining the military?

Does Base Curve and Diameter really matter when buying Contacts?

Hi, right now I wear Acuvue Oasys Contacts comfortably with a base curve of 8.4 and a diameter of 14.0 but I am looking to switch to some other contacts, the only problem is the base curve and diameter of the other contacts is slightly different. Would I be able to wear contacts with a base curve of 8.7 and a diameter of 14.4 or would that cause a lot of discomfort for my eyes? Thanks

CAN CONTACT LENSES CAUSE BLURRED VISION?

My 17 year old son has just been told he needs to wear glasses. He is mildly short sighted, with a prescription of -1.25/-1.5. He has decided to opt for contact lenses, and tried some daily disposables today at a well known high street optician. He found that the contacts were great for distance vision, but his near vision was blurred. The contact lens fitter dismissed this as being due to weak eye muscles and said that it will go away, but I'm not convinced. I think it could be due to poorly fitting lenses, and wold like to try another type of daily disposable. Any ideas why his close up vision was blurred - and what's the best type of daily disposable lens?
