Astigmatism and Keraticonus?

Please bear with me. I have an auto immune disease (ankylosing spondylitis) and throughout my life have had eye inflammation (Iritis or Anterior Uveitis) and on my last episode of iritis my vision on my left eye became greatly impaired.

I told the ophthalmologist if glasses will be able to help me out and told yes. So I went to an optometrist to see if I could get a prescription for glasses. She did her routine tests and told me that glasses will be of little use to me and said that a special king of contact lens could help me if I were to have something called keraticonus.

She told me that I would have to go to a specialist that deals with keraticonus and has the right equipment and that the lenses would have to be custom made.

Anyone that has keraticonus and had to pay out of pocket how much was the test and consultation with the doctor that diagnosed and prescribed the special kind of lenses?

And, how much were the contact lenses themselves? I would really appreciate any help.
