A. John Kanellopoulos, MD

Show Description +

In this video, A. John Kanellopoulos, MD, discusses the importance of eye rubbing and how it manifests in corneal epithelium maps in patients with keratoconus. He proposes a do-it-yourself sleep mask that functions as a comfortable shield that may allow for comfortable sleep and significant protection from eye rubbing during sleep, which appears to be one of the most important accelerators of ectasia and keratoconus.
