I have blurred vision in one eye even before I had a cataract surgery. Thus I understand what you are saying. I have come across posters on "Reddit" who identified themselves as Ophthalmologists, Ophthalmic Technicians, MDs, Opticians, RNs and Pathologists, etc. Some of them have had lasik and/or lens exchange surgeries. You may want to ask them there. There are MDs at "City-Data" as well; one of them gave me good advice and headups a couple years ago.
Wrt keratoconus, recently I saw a video where an eye-surgeon performed a surgery using two superimposed lenses; one "pinhole" lens and one add-on lens. There are always new technology and new lenses, so don't give up hope.

What you are seeing is quite normal. Aphakia (lensless eye) results in humans being able to see UV wavelengths that are invisible to everyone else. Normally, UV light is filtered by the eye's lens before it reaches the photoreceptors in the eye.
I can't post any picture here. But if you want to see the painting that Monet painted with his Aphkia left-eye, I shall msg you the link.
There exists a technique for intraocular lens support in Aphakia without capsular support. Hope your vision will return soon. Take care.
