Bader procedure for Keratoconus

[Enigma]

Hello everyone,
I found information about the new procedure to treat Keratoconus - http://clinic-one.com/clinicone/csc/csc ... -procedure
Procedure only available in Jordan.

Does anybody hear something more about this treatment? Or maybe have already done this procedure?

Thank you for posting this link. Looks interesting and I guess we'll all watch this space.

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!
