NEPTUNE, N.J. – Alan Tsai, OD, a resident at Atlantic Eye Physicians speaking here at the New Jersey Academy of Optometry fall dinner meeting, shares a case of a patient with keratoconus and spontaneous corneal perforation associated with hydrops. Tsai said the patient was aggressively treated with an anterior chamber injection of sulfur hexafluoride and a Prokera (Bio-Tissue) membrane, which resulted in fast healing.
