Topography-guided custom ablation treatment betters the quality of vision by correcting the refractive error and improving the contact lens fit. Intra-corneal ring segments can improve vision by flattening the cornea in patients with mild to moderate keratoconus. Corneal collagen cross-linking is effective in stabilizing the progression of the disease. Common methods of vision correction for keratoconus range from spectacles and rigid gas-permeable contact lenses to other specialized lenses such as piggyback, Rose-K or Boston scleral lenses. Demographical parameters are known to affect the rate of progression of the disease. Though the etiology remains unknown, novel techniques are continuously emerging for the diagnosis and management of the disease. Her clinical practice is devoted to pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus.Keratoconus is a slowly progressive, noninflammatory ectatic corneal disease characterized by changes in corneal collagen structure and organization. She is Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Cincinnati and Director of the Division of Ophthalmology and the Abrahamson Pediatric Eye Institute at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. She completed a residency in ophthalmology at Washington University and a fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology at the Wilmer Ophthalmological Institute.
