The Nuts and Bolts of Keratoconus Co-management Course

The Nuts and Bolts of Keratoconus Co-management Course is organized by Pacific University.

Expiration Date: November 1, 2023

Course Description:
Keratoconus is a progressive corneal ectasia that can lead to serious acuity loss and potential blindness, but eyecare providers are well-equipped to prevent this irreversible vision loss. Masterful management starts with an accurate diagnosis, moves to surgical treatments to halt progression, and finishes with optical and surgical visual rehabilitation.

Learning Objectives:
• Review the common office tools and emerging technologies for keratoconus diagnosis.
• Discuss risk factors for disease progression, and answer the question, “When is the right time to refer  a patient for intervention.”
• Compare and contrast epithelial on vs. epithelial off corneal cross-linking.
• Review the postoperative corneal cross-linking billing and ancillary diagnostics for practice management.
• Educate attendees on a commonly used postoperative visit schedule, detailing the most commonly performed tests on each visit.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
