Trent Johnston Discovers Severity of Eye Condition on ‘7 Little Johnstons’
February 4, 2025: The reality star receives unsettling news after a visit to the ophthalmologist in an exclusive clip from the latest episode of the TLC show.
In a recent episode of TLC’s 7 Little Johnstons, Trent Johnston, 48, received unexpected news regarding his vision. Following concerning MRI results, Trent consulted ophthalmologist Dr. Hinson, who diagnosed him with keratoconus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone-like shape, leading to distorted vision.
Diagnosis and Implications
Dr. Hinson explained that Trent’s corneas have weakened areas causing them to bulge, resulting in significant visual distortion. This irregularity makes traditional glasses less effective for vision correction. He recommended hard contact lenses, which can reshape the cornea and provide clearer vision. If the condition progresses, a cornea transplant might become necessary.
Trent’s Reaction
Initially hesitant about using hard contact lenses due to discomfort with eye procedures, Trent expressed determination to address his vision issues. He acknowledged the severity of his condition and emphasized the importance of corrective measures for his overall well-being.
Understanding Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease where the cornea thins and bulges outward into a cone shape, causing blurred and distorted vision. Early detection and treatment are crucial to manage symptoms and prevent further deterioration. Treatment options range from corrective lenses to surgical interventions, depending on the severity of the condition.
