In this presentation from AAO 2016, Raymond M. Stein, MD, presents the following points:

• Arrest the disease and improve best corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
• An accurate diagnosis of keratoconus with either topography or a slitlamp should be conducted.
• Better results are achieved with differences of less than 10 diopters across the cornea.
• This technology is useful for both progressive and nonprogressive cases.
• He is a strong advocate of bilateral crosslinking in patients who are less than 25 years old.
• Technology will continue to evolve and improve.

The presentation was followed by an interactive panel discussion regarding such topics as BCVA, and epithelium mapping.  This presentation was co-sponsored by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS).
