World Ophthalmology Congress (WOC) in Barcelona, June 2018
Dr Raymond Stein was an invited speaker to the WOC to discuss his techniques and outcomes with Topography-guided PRK and crosslinking. The technique allows for improving best-corrected acuity over corneal crosslinking alone, so patients may wear glasses or soft contact lenses. The goal is to reduce irregular astigmatism and prevent progressive ectasia.
