I gave four presentations: <i>Cross-Linking Beyond the Dresden Protocol<\/i>, <i>Therapeutic Excimer Laser Surface Ablation in Keratoconus<\/i>, <i>PACK-CXL: Using Riboflavin for Infectious Keratitis<\/i>, and <i>CXL at the Slit Lamp: Access for All<\/i>. These were all very well received by the attended audience of mainly American ophthalmologists. However, I want to write about some of the other presentations I saw at Bascom Palmer, and why I found them interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Prof. Carol L. Karp<\/strong> presented her ground-breaking work on pioneering the use of an advanced eye imaging technique called high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) for detecting, diagnosing and guiding the removal of tumours on the eye called\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">ocular surface squamous neoplasias. She used her HR-OCT instrument to locate the edges of the tumours (the tumour \u201cmargins\u201d) \u2013 and remove them. The tissue was removed and processed in the usual way and looked at under the microscope. The good news was that the HR-OCT was as good as traditional methods for defining the extent of the tumour, which should make diagnosis easier, and surgery to remove the tumour easier and faster to perform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Dr. Mohammed Abou Shousha<\/strong> gave a very interesting talk where he described how he and his colleagues have developed an image processing algorithm using artificial intelligence to detect keratoconus, Fuchs&#8217; Dystrophy or dry eye, which was trained on tens of thousands of OCT images, and Jospeh Tauber from Kansas City gave an excellent talk on dry eye therapeutics, particularly on how effective Xiidra (lifitegrast) has been in his patients. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But the one of most amazing talks was that of <strong>Dr. Anat Galor,<\/strong> who presented the topic \u201cMicrobiome and Dry Eye\u201d. To make a long story short: harmless bacteria live on the surface of the eye \u2013 the \u201cocular microbiome\u201d \u2013 and in people with dry eye, the composition of all the different bacteria in the ocular microbiome is disturbed. But if patients undergo a \u201cFecal Microbiota Transplant\u201d procedure where healthy donor stool is packaged in capsules (popularly called \u201cpoop pills\u201d), not only does the ocular microbiome start to resemble that of patients without dry eye, the symptoms of dry eye start to improve too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[foogallery id=&#8221;17221&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uma das palestras mais surpreendentes foi a da Dra.
