Keratoconus In Eyes. Combination Of Soft, Hard Lenses Fitted. Left Eye Damaged By Diabetic Retinopathy. Advise?

I have Keratoconus in both eyes. My left eye was corrected in 1987 via a cornea transplant. Over the last year, I developed Hypertensive Retinopathy due to high blood pressure. My left eye was permanently damaged. Doctors do not want to do a corneal transplant in my right eye due to the damage done through hypertensive retinopathy damage done in my left. I am 57 years old and am attempting to get SSID benefits. THey fitted me with a combination soft/jhard lense in my right which helpf but is more of a band aid than a cure.
