A paradigm shift in Keratoconus management is upon us. Thanks to new diagnostic technologies and the availability of Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking, we can now achieve early detection and management of Keratoconus before the onset of significant vision symptoms. On this episode of VisionTech we discuss on the latest technologies in the diagnosis and management of Keratoconus. Joining us for this discussion is friend of the podcast, Dr. John Gelles, OD.
Dr. Gelles is the director of the specialty contact lens division at the Cornea and Laser Eye Institute-Hersh Vision Group and the CLEI Center for Keratoconus in Teaneck, New Jersey.
He is a graduate of Pennsylvania College of Optometry and is an adjunct clinical professor for State University of New York College of Optometry and New England College of Optometry. Additionally, he is an optometric consultant and serves on the executive board of the International Keratoconus Academy of Eye Care Professionals and the advisory board of the Gas Permeable Lens Institute. He is a Fellow in the International Academy of Orthokeratology, the Contact Lens Society of America, and the Scleral Lens Education Society. His clinical work is dedicated exclusively to specialty contact lenses and surgical co-management for corneal disease, ocular surface disease, and post-surgical corneal conditions. He is also a sub-investigator for multiple keratoconus specific clinical trials.
