When we speak to patients about their Keratoconus or write about the disease on our website, we work hard to help patients understand their disease as best as they can but refrain from using some of the more technical jargon. But when we talk about treating Keratoconus, doctor to doctor, we can speak at a more clinical, more precise level. That is what the video on this page is about.
At the Grand Opening of the California Keratoconus Center, I did a live presentation for the doctors in attendance to share with them the recent advances we’ve made in treating Keratoconus. The Advanced Technology we have here at the California Keratoconus Center allows us to treat Keratoconus patients faster and more precisely than ever before and take their vision to the next level.
Historically, effective non-surgical Keratoconus treatment required three, five or even more lens fittings before lenses fit comfortably and gave the patient optimal vision. Now, we can achieve a first fit success 52% of the time, with a second fitting accomplishing the patient’s goal as often as 85% of the time.
And not only do our techniques allow us to treat Keratoconus effectively, but we can treat other Corneal Dystrophies, such as Post-RK and Post-LASIK ectasias, and the effects of Penetrating Keratoplasty.
We can also effectively treat Ocular Surface Diseases like Dry Eye Conditions, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, Ectodermal Dysplasia, Neurotrophic Keratitis and Corneal Exposures.
In the Doctor-to-Doctor video on this page, we show you our recent successes and give examples of our technology, the diagnoses we can make, and the treatments we recommend. We also offer you some positive results we can achieve for our patients.
We follow that with a demonstration of the Eaglet Eye Surface Profiler, which allows us to map 350,000 points on an eye and design scleral lenses for our patients.
Speaking doctor-to-doctor through a video is one thing. Doing it in person is even better. If you have patients with any of the aforementioned (or related) issues, let’s discuss their case and how we can co-manage their vision care. Please email us at info@CaliforniaKeratoconusCenter.com or call the California Keratoconus Center at 818-891-6711 and ask for one of our Keratoconus specialists. We’re glad to help you help your patients see clearly.
