Clinical Results of Topography-based Customized Ablations in Highly Aberrated Eyes and Keratoconus/Ectasia with Cross-linking

On the laser’s edge – breaking taboos! Dr Aanchal Gupta is the Director of Training for the South Australian Training network and a Senior Clinical lecturer at the University of Adelaide. She reviews Clinical results of topography-based customized ablations in highly aberrated eyes and keratoconus/ectasia with cross-linking, the article as written by her fellowship mentors that started her interest in refractive surgery. The results demonstrate how laser platforms can go beyond routine vision correction. Irregular astigmatism, keratoconus patients and those with decentred ablations can be successfully treated with laser. This allows patients to avoid rigid contact lenses, transplants or glasses with suboptimal vision. Do the results last? What are the long-term outcomes? What can go wrong? Aanchal explores…
