Summary:The symposium was also a gathering of significant knowledge, and we wanted to harness that knowledge into enduring documents that could help guide the primary eye care physician to provide the highest quality care for patients with keratoconus or refer them at the most appropriate time to specialized care. [...]content was collected during designated sessions to build a group algorithm of care that will ultimately be available to eye care providers worldwide. Look out for our quarterly free webinars, presentations at upcoming eye conferences, journal articles, and most importantly, the 2nd Annual IKA Keratoconus Symposium from May 18 to 19, 2024, in Bethesda, Maryland. * Please visit our website at keratocon usacademy.com IKA Keratoconus Symposium Consensus Statement: Because of the increased prevalence rates of keratoconus, in an optimal setting and in addition to their annual comprehensive eye examination, children should have at least 1 corneal tomography scan (corneal topography if corneal tomography is not available) by the age of 10 to 12 years to rule out the presence of early ectatic corneal diseases.
