Episode 27 - Debunking KC Myths

  • Summary

  • Clearly KC host Dr. Melissa Barnett OD explodes some myths with crosslinking expert Dr. William Trattler MD, of the Center for Excellence in Eye Care in Miami. He shares that patients with extremely thin corneas can be successfully crosslinked if the surgeon makes some adjustments in the treatment protocol. While most crosslinked patients will not need a second procedure, he observed that a repeat treatment can be safely performed if progression is suspected. Another myth debunked is that disease progression stops at age 40. Dr. Trattler reported seeing progression in older patients, often after years of no change, reinforcing the need for annual follow-up exams even after crosslinking or years of stability.
