Mile Brujic, OD, FAAO; Elizabeth Yeu, MD; and William B. Trattler, MD, discuss two cases where the AvaGen Genetic Test (Avellino) provided crucial information for the final treatment decision. The first case saw Dr. Brujic at a crossroads - whether to select a conservative or aggressive treatment plan in a patient with suspected keratoconus. In the second case, Dr. Trattler considers whether to test the 8-year-old son of a mother who had just been diagnosed with unilateral keratoconus.
