Hello everyone,
I found information about the new procedure to treat Keratoconus -
http://clinic-one.com/clinicone/csc/csc ... -procedureProcedure only available in Jordan.
Does anybody hear something more about this treatment? Or maybe have already done this procedure?

Welcome to the forum.

Hmm.
Not to be overly cynical but all I see is some basic facts about KC copied from wikipedia and some rather worryingly alternative medicine-ish blurb about "utilizing the bodies' natural healing power". And, of course, not a single shred of info about the procedure.
Pretty skeptical about this one.

Found this link to a blog about the Bader procedure. Don't know if it makes things any clearer though

HI All
Interesting... the only Bader's procedure I know of is historically one where part of the apex of the cone is removed and the edges sutured together. Th ewebsite does mention a "trench under the cornea" so I am assuming it is something like mini arc?
Its also interesting that the website refers to CXL needing 60 months of treatment - which is a tad bizarre!
