Clearly KC host Dr. Melissa Barnett OD catches up with KC expert Dr. Andy Morgenstern OD who shares that his career in keratoconus was inspired when he first had access to pentacam tomography, a technology that visualizes the back (posterior) of the cornea. He also spoke of a soon-to-be published paper that used tomography to screen Chicagoland students to reveal the prevalence of pediatric KC in the US is much higher than previously predicted.
As co-founder of International Keratoconus Academy for Eye Care Professionals, Dr. Morgenstern shared details of the upcoming IKA symposium for optometrists and ophthalmologists on May 18-19, 2024 in Bethesda, MD. For more information, visit www.gotoper.com/AM-IKA
