Learn from Dr. Jennifer Stewart's Woo’s Wisdom for Fielding Questions From The Keratoconic Patients with Dr. Sindt, Dr. Ibach and Dr. Tiffany
They discussed the “Keratoconus Personality”, information-seeking behaviors, keratoconus anxiety patterns (including feeling of loneliness and isolation, the feeling of guilt and fear of progression)- this can often complicate our treatment plan and affect the patient outcomes.
Their top tips for success? Go over the basics- explain the disease, go over testing and lens options, and discuss individual concerns. They also discussed how to discuss costs, give great resources, and develop a care map together.
