Because the contacts changes the shape of your eye and when you went out of them they cornea starts changing shape.   People with K-conus often cannot be corrected with glasses and need rigid contact lens. The state of the art for arresting K-conus is called cornea crosslinking and can in some cases stop the cornea from assuming the cone shape.  Nothing at all unusual about what you have noticed

But before cxl i don't have slanted vision.... I just got it recently after wearing glasses.... Is it corrected with contacts.... Nd there's nothing to worry about it .. please do reply sir i m very much afraid... Is slanted vision got corrected by time.... I m really nervous....
Nd thank you so much sir....
Most patients with moderate or severe K-conus have 'slanted vision"  due to irregular corneal astigmatism.  The contact lens also changes the glasses prescription so that glasses give inferior and changing vision.  Everything you have described is common in K-conus patients. discuss with your corneal Eye MD ophthalmologist specialst.
