Hello,
First of all i would like to say, 6/9 vision unaided in a case of progressive keratoconus, thats not bad at all...
Regarding your first problem of halos; this is a common problem in patients with keratoconus, due to high aberrations in the cornea. Little can be done about these. You can consult about diluted pilocarpine, brimonidine for these. And yes, please dont put these medicines without consulting your ophthalmologist.
For your second problem of decreased vision I can think of two possible causes; keratoconus progressing or slight shifting of ICL. You need not worry about the second, but make sure your ophthalmologist rule out the first one
Hope it helps
