Eye Clinic London’s Mr Samer Hamada led a discussion on the epithelium of cross-linking. He presented clinical studies and long-term follow up data that support corneal cross-linking as a viable treatment for keratoconus eye diseases.Keratoconus affects 1/300 Asians and 1/2000 Caucasians. Corneal cross-linking has already been approved by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for stopping and slowing down keratoconus. With this treatment, children and younger patients are the ones who would reap the most benefits since the disease is more aggressive and progresses faster with younger patients.About the expertMr Samer Hamada | Consultant Ophthalmologist and Corneal SurgeonMD, MSc, DO (hons), FRCSEd, FRCOphth I am Samer Hamada, founder and consultant ophthalmic surgeon with over 20 years’ experience in ophthalmology.
