Keratoconus Treatment Centers
I recently shifted to Beverly Hills, CA and heard about the Keratoconus Center which is located here. Will you please provide me details of Clinical trials and research works performed in this Keratoconus Treatment Centers and also provide me contact details of this institute?

Re: Keratoconus Treatment Centers
The Keratoconus Center is one of the few centers in the world dedicated to both research and treatment of keratoconus. The Keratoconus Genetics Research Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is the largest research program on Keratoconus of its kind in the world. It has been funded by the National Eye Institutes of Health Research overview: Clinical trials include: The early treatment of keratoconus with INTACS and the Intralase laser. Identifying genes in families with keratoconus. PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) for keratoconus. Treatment of mild to moderate keratoconus with INTACS and the Intralase laser. Treatment of keratoconus with the Visian ICL. Lamellar transplants in the treatment of keratoconus. Developing a molecular genetic test to diagnose keratoconus. Videokeratography indices for detecting early keratoconus. This center achievement include: Developed a computer software to early detect keratoconus. Identified the first molecular defect in keratoconus. The first group to demonstrate keratoconus has a genetic basis. The first group to publish and demonstrate that inserting INTACS with the Intralase laser is safer and more accurate than the mechanical technique. The first group in Los Angeles to offer the Intralase laser for corneal transplants in patients with keratoconus.
