This presentation explores the sustained psychosocial and functional impact of vision rehabilitation in keratoconus patients. It extends upon previous work on psychological responses post-correction, examining neuroadaptive changes, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and long-term patient satisfaction. This presentation also reviews emerging clinical frameworks for holistic keratoconus care.
Almost 1200 attended our event and we received amazing feedback!
Feedback from anonymous survey:
Spouse overheard the meeting and thought it was pre-recorded because Dr. Bhagat was so well-spoken. “Like a podcast!” - high praise :)
The presenter is both knowledgeable and empathetic to her patients, which is what we need more of with chronic eye health conditions. Great job!
Such a refreshing and crucial approach to patient care and education. I feel Dr. Bhagat’s empathetic patient care can be applied not only to keratoconus patients but really all patients with sight threatening conditions.
What a tremendous presentation! It offered a fresh new perspective into the treatment and management of keratoconus! Very well done!
Thank you for reminding us to see patients from a different perspective.
This was excellent! A unique perspective on the diagnosis of keratoconus on a patient. We often do not think of the affects of our diagnosis on the patient.
My favorite lecturer to date!
This is exceptional education. I am so appreciative of your ideas on our Keratoconus patients.
This is a very interesting aspect of the mental challenges that patients with corneal ectasia often experience. I have seen the countenance and physical appearance change for the better in some patients after their vision has been improved by the fitting of corneal or scleral GP CL's.
I appreciate the perspective of considering the patient's mental wellness during discussions
Thank you for going over the emotional and mental issues involved with keratoconus. It was a good lecture.
Great Keratoconus & mental health pearls. Thanks Woo U!
I like the asking the patient “what had they found out through their google search “ . I like using that as a talking/teaching point.
Very different perspective in a good way. Lots to think about when talking to patients with KC or other va reducing conditions.
