again, that's all well and dandy. But... rubbing your eyes is sometimes all that's required to get keratoconus progressing again, and it's at this point where people would have benefitted from CXL to stop their cone from progressing (and this is especially important in children). There's a perception that scleral contact lenses stop the progression of keratoconus: that isn't true and this perception needs to be addressed. There seems to be some debate here on the merits of CXL - and the CXL page itself is very sparse. Finally, the Cochrane review from 5 years ago came to that conclusion because all the trials were small and performed very haphazardly (to be honest), the endpoint assessments are still under debate and everyone has used similar but different ones, but there's now 10-year follow-up data, the FDA approved it, and it's by no means perfect, but it is more than a sentence pointing to a systematic review from 2015. If anyone else cares to help update this, that would be great, but if nobody minds, I'll try and update sections of it over the next however many months when I have some more time.

I subscribe to the journals Ophthalmology & the American Journal of Ophthalmology, which they 2 of the main ophthalmology medical journals in the United States. My subscriptions are of the free access kind, so it means that many of the articles aren't availble full text without a paid or association subscription. I've been trying to look where there are any studies done on the smaller percentage of patients like me, but to no look. So, if anyone cares to try, please do. it would be very helpful, to at least make mention of the fact unique nature of its progression and that there are people like me who are out there, though in a small percentage of Keratoconus suffers. So, I'm able to get pictures of my left cornea, I would like to added it to the entry. Actually, both of my eyes are affected, and my left eye was deemed the "good" eye, as along with Keratoconus affecting my right eye, I also have optic neuropathy with the right eye, which makes me technically blind. My left eye is now the bad eye.
21: 339: 602: 44: 493: 1676:. In this memoir Richard Sarver details the challenges of functioning as a laborer in a steel mill while contending with keratoconus and high myopia. With other career choices limited because of his low vision, Sarver sought employment at a Roanoke, Virginia steel mill, where he has worked for more than 30 years. The corrective lenses available to him have provided only marginal improvement to his vision. " 363: 192: 3224:- In 2016, the FDA approved corneal collagen cross-linking to halt the progression of keratoconus. In some cases, when the cornea becomes dangerously thin or when sufficient vision can no longer be achieved by contact lenses due to steepening of the cornea, scarring or lens intolerance, corneal cross-linking is not an option and a corneal transplant may be required. 243: 1226:
if he could either allow me to keep the damaged cornea, or which I think will be more likely, to take pictures of it. I think it's important that a cornea that is was removed as close to when the actual procedure was done be shown in the article . And another reason, which hasn't been given some attention in the entry, is the nature of how Keratoconus progresses.

Service of the UK and pretty much EVERYWHERE ! this is the silly line from the article on Mini ark "This technique has yet to go through the official experimentation and follow-up period which is generally required by the Italian National Health Service to accept a new surgery technique before it can be offered to patients." Come on guys wake up !

Examples of the difficulties involved in prescribing corrective lenses, especially glasses lenses, and complications that arise from wearing contact lenses are discussed in 3135:
Hello all. There really needs to be more exploration of treatment options - for example, the comment "in KC many of the mentioned surgical options are not necessary, a good fitted contact lens is all needed" is completely fine if you have keratoconus that's not progressing, and if it never progresses
1229:
I was initially diagnosed with it in 2012, and from that time march 2015, the Keratoconus progressed in an extremely fast period of time. o, I happen to be in the small group of persons with Keratoconus where what would be considered a "normal" progression or activity of the disease is very atypical.

There isn't a picture of a Keratoconic cornea that has been removed, "fully intact" within 24 hours of the surgery. I have Stage 4 Keratoconus; I will be having PK (Penetrating Keratoplasty) surgery in this coming May (May 2015). I'm going to ask my ophthalmologist, which will be doing the procedure,

Since there are only a handful treatment options, there should be a section with novel or experimenting treatments. This page is importent for KC, including myself, patients and should include all information. CXL, CISIS and others have been deleted several times, while others such as partial rings,

The body mentions contacts and various surgical procedures without prioritizing them except to say that contacts generally are tried first; this is what the current lead does as well. Both your edits somehow try to distinguish cross-linking from other non-contact approaches. There is nothing in the

You see it was everytime I wanted to write something or when I did, it was removed and then I was blocked, the Ip was the same as I have now.

The current lead clearly suggests that once the disease had "further progression", surgical options will help, which is not correct and not mentioned in the body. you are correct about the crosslinking, in my opinion the article should be corrected there too. as per body, only corneal transplant is

What happened to this page, I wonder? It's like being back in the 1990s, when the only common treatment was corneal transplantation...this is ridiculous, honestly. Who scrapped 20 years of successful research? Who modified the Corneal Cross-linking section, making it considerably worse? Who removed

Current lead section is misleading. in KC many of the mentioned surgical options are not necessary, a good fitted contact lens is all needed, corneal graft is the ONLY surgical option that sometime may be really required, and crosslinking just has a different purpose and should not be in one group

This is just silly on the article (please read on), its been there for a very very very long time and no ones got the interest or even care to say anything - mini ARK it is an ELECTIVE surgery, just like Laser surgery is for "normal" people is (and why Laser is not offered in the National Health

The above line is totally misleading as it suggests that the mentioned surgical options are helpful after "further progression". the truth is they are simply alternatives to contact lenses, some of these are not suitable for people with thin corneas and none of them actually slow or halt the

Also it would have been much easier if you had improved my edit instead of reverting it. interestingly the current lead which you support does not reflect the body at all. the whole following line cannot be found anywhere in the body "corneal intrastromal implantation system (CISIS),

I think it's a single case history which doesn't add to the subject matter. The facts which it does say about it: "relatively rare and largely unknown in the general population", "practical application of standard treatments has limits" are already discussed elsewhere in the text.

1419:
You placed the Cross-linking section under the Radial keratotomy which I think is very wrong, RK is really not a good choice for KC, but CXL is a widely practiced treatment around the Europe and it is expected to be accepted in the U.S soon. I suggest we contact
1381:
We have a 2015 Cochrane review that states as its conclusions "The evidence for the use of CXL in the management of keratoconus is limited due the lack of properly conducted RCTs." That you have attempted to summarize this as "Corneal collagen crosslinking with
1359:. although I appreciate his contributions here, I am sure all the involved editors, optometrist, ophthalmologist and KC patients would agree with me that Cross-linking is one of most important subjects in this article and should not be ignored like this. 3186:"Diagnosis is most often by topography. Topography measures the curvature of the cornea and creates a colored “map” of the cornea. Keratoconus causes very distinctive changes in the appearance of these maps, which allows doctors to make the diagnosis." 2192:
I don't understand why you refer to this talk page section as a "reason" for your edit! also please be specific about the parts of my edit which you believe is not right. there is no need to link to the diff as I have included it above.

I restored a trimmed-down version of the Cross-linking section. however, restoring some of the other removed information (Keraflex/microwave thermoplasty, different types of lenses, and corneal implants) may require further discussion.

Exactly! where is the current one mentioned and sourced in the body of the article? where is it mentioned that any of those surgical options will help more than contact lenses after "further progression". Where are your sources?
2043:
These distinctions you are trying to make in the lead are not anywhere in body and are not sourced in the body, or anywhere else. The lead just summarizes the body and content everywhere is based only on reliable sources.

The sourcing for that was terrible and itself reflected advocacy. it is maybe ok to have an advocacy section if there are decent sources for it; twitter and the advocacy group's website are unacceptable.

I've tagged this article as requiring copy-editing. The pre-contents section alone has several clumsy phrasings and strange statements, e.g. "A new procedure is called KXL, which is promising."

I agree that this and some related articles are the target of some businesses. it is our job to keep it clean and ad free, but that's not a good reason to remove the sections completely.
