VIDEO: Corneal tissue addition keratoplasty offers advantages for keratoconus treatment

NEW YORK — In this Healio Video Perspective from OSN New York, Mitchell A. Jackson, MD, of Jacksoneye in Lake Villa, Illinois, discusses the benefits of corneal tissue addition keratoplasty for patients with keratoconus.

Corneal tissue addition keratoplasty (CTAK) utilizes tissue provided by CorneaGen to normalize the corneal surface and improve corrected and uncorrected visual acuity, according to Jackson.

CTAK provides patients with “a procedure that is less time-consuming than a penetrating keratoplasty and better than our previous Intacs (AJL Ophthalmic) procedure and will get them seeing better,” he said. “CTAK is the new thing for keratoconus.”
