Keratoconus Treatment

A recent study has uncovered a surprisingly high prevalence of keratoconus in pediatric patients. Early screening and diagnosis are crucial, as interventions like corneal collagen cross-linking can halt disease progression and preserve vision, highlighting the need for routine corneal tomography in pediatric eye exams.

CorneaGen has unveiled CTAK (Corneal Tissue Addition for Keratoplasty), a new treatment for keratoconus that uses custom-designed, gamma-irradiated corneal tissue segments.
