In this episode, we travel to the anterior segment as Dr Alex Ioannidis and Prof Rasik Vajpayee discuss the latest in keratoconus, corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) and corneal transplants. Find out when you should be referring patients for CXL and corneal transplant assessment, whether CXL can be repeated, whether CXL is recommended in keratoconic patients before cataract surgery, and red flags for chronic graft rejection – the answers might surprise you.
