Episode 13 - The Future of Crosslinking

Clearly KC host Dr. Melissa Barnett OD chats with Sacramento-based cornea surgeon Dr. Sam Lee MD.  Dr. Lee has performed corneal crosslinking since the procedure earned FDA approval in 2016.  He described the procedure in detail and noted the results are quite good, with only 1-5% of patients needing retreatment and emphasized the importance of crosslinking as soon as there is any evidence of progression.  Dr. Lee and Dr. Barnett ended with a comparison of epi-on versus epi-off protocols, and Dr. Lee predicted that the future would bring less invasive and more individualized crosslinking techniques to treat keratoconus.
