Keratoconus remains one of the most complex and evolving conditions in modern eye care, with hereditary links and early-onset presentations making it a significant clinical challenge.

In this edition, we explore how genetic counseling and prenatal awareness can help mitigate risks both before and after birth. We also highlight Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) — a groundbreaking treatment that stabilizes the cornea and preserves vision, especially when detected early.

For younger patients, Pediatric Keratoconus demands timely detection and specialized care to prevent rapid progression. Through expert insights and the latest clinical updates, this edition aims to empower both practitioners and families in navigating keratoconus at every stage.

Wearing contacts?
Struggle with dry eyes?
Here’s what your birth control might be doing to your vision.

Many don’t know that estrogen in combined pills can trigger dry eye, retinal issues, and even increase stroke risk in some women.

The safer option? Progestin-only pills (POPs) — no estrogen, less eye risk, and still super effective. Especially great for contact lens wearers, migraine sufferers, and anyone with eye or vascular concerns.

Your eyes will thank you! 👁️❤️
