[vensgal]

Hi,

i am keratokonus patient and would like to get treatment for the same in charlotte.

please do assist if you know any better doctor for the treatment.

at present, i am wearing hard lenses but I wanted to get some sort of treatment which i saw in internet called collagen crosslinking.

Get in on one of the cross-linking trials. It is only a matter of time before it is approved in the USA. Alternatively travel to Europe where it is already approved.

Hi,

Thank you. I was looking at collagen crosslinking and it is not approved as of now in US. But any one have idea when it will be approved so that i can go for it.

b'se intacts are difficult to manage , which i feel.

I am searching for doctors in www.aao.org and NKCF.org

If in the Charlotte, NC area there are many doctors to choose from, visit www.aao.org to find one. I highly recommend you look into the Horizon Eye group as their doctors are excellent!! They have a website if you're interested: www.horizoneye.com, there are short bios of the doctors and which office they practice in as Horizon is a large group practice with multiple offices.
Good luck.
