Watch Dr. Jennifer Stewart's Woo’s Wisdom for Fielding Questions From The Keratoconic Patients
Watch Dr. Jennifer Stewart's Woo’s Wisdom for Fielding Questions From The Keratoconic Patients with Dr. Christine Sindt, Dr. Mitch Ibach and Dr. Tiffany. They discussed the “keratoconus personality”, information seeking behaviors, keratoconus anxiety patterns (including feeling of loneliness and isolation, 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.
