Episode 16 - Innovations

Clearly KC host Dr. Melissa Barnett OD is joined by ophthalmologist Dr. Steven Greenstein MD and optometrist Dr. John Gelles OD, partners at the Cornea and Laser Eye Institute in New Jersey.  Dr. Gelles shares results of wave front guided scleral lenses, an emerging technology that creates a 3-D model of the cornea to craft individualized contacts.  Dr. Greenstein spoke of CTAK (corneal tissue addition keratoplasty) a new surgical procedure that adds biocompatible donor tissue to reshape corneas, improving vision and contact lens comfort.  Drs. Barnett, Gelles and Greenstein recounted their curation of the 2023 Keratoconus Education Initiative, a comprehensive resource for practitioners.  To download a copy, visit: https://reviewob.com/2022-keratoconus-education-initiative
