If you're attending ESCRS in Barcelona, join me for my presentation on “Corneal Opacity Detection on Optical Coherence Tomography Based on Corneal Reflectivity Profile” at 2:30 PM during the Anterior Segment Imaging session in room Free Paper Podium 1.

An epic ESCRS meeting in Barcelona with a record attendance and loads of contributions! Ours were on CAIRS & customized laser surgery for Keratoconus, CLEAR lenticule surgery, AI model to diagnose Keratoconus based solely on pachymetry, and more.

I will tolerate recurrent laryngeal nerve slander no longer! It's actually the result of several elegant solutions to difficult problems in embryology, and the length is a non-issue. A 🧵 1/13

Check out our latest study 👇 The combination of CXL with WG-transPRK, without the use of MMC, does not lead to a higher incidence of haze compared to A-CXL alone. This approach results in more substantial improvements in visual acuity, topography, and aberrometry measurements.

The wait is finally over! Our highly anticipated study comparing CAIRS and synthetic ICRS, matched case by case, has just been published in the Journal of Refractive Surgery! Cases involving highly advanced conditions, where ICRS aren’t viable but CAIRS may be, were excluded.

CAIRS offer clinical and tomographic outcomes equivalent, if not superior, to synthetic ICRS when performed using Dr. Awwad’s technique. 👇 Surgeons experienced with ICRS can readily apply their expertise to CAIRS.

This is the current highest-scored (8, 10, 10, 10) paper at ICLR 2025 tldr: they manage to change the lighting information of ain image while preserving extreme amounts of subject consistency

Check out our 1-year All-FemtoCAIRS results published in the journal “Cornea”, with refractive & segmental tomography evaluation. All CAIRS segments were created using the LDV Z8 dedicated CAIRS software which we helped design from the ground up with Fabian Mueller Ziemer Group.

Can early Keratoconus be diagnosed purely based on pachymetry maps? The answer is yes! The Thickness Speed Progression Index (TSPI) is now available on the Ziemer Galilei platform and has just been published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology as an open-access article!

Can Keratoconus be diagnosed solely based on pachymetry data? The full video is finally here! Watch the journey that led us to developing the Thickness Speed Progression Index, from concept to clinical application on the Galilei tomographer, to publication in American Journal of Ophthalmology

Introducing TSPI, our AI index that analyzes localized corneal thickness changes to differentiate between keratoconus, suspect, and normal eyes on the Galilei Ziemer Group. Kudos to Shady Awwad and Bassel Hammoud for their pivotal contributions.

Just wrapped up an incredible weekend in DC at the World Cornea Congress! Honored to present our latest work bridging AI and microscopy — from automating KOH prep interpretation to image enhancement using generative AI. More to come.

Our deep learning study published in the Journal of Refractive Surgery identifies the nature of previous keratorefractive surgery performed based on OCT image analysis whether myopic or hyperopic, femtosecond laser or microkeratome, and KLEx, LASIK, or PRK.

Just got back from #ARVO2025 in Salt Lake City! 🟦 Poster 1: “Soft” labels from latent class analysis improved AI accuracy & calibration for trachoma + infectious keratitis 🟦 Poster 2: Better OCT epithelial mapping in corneas with opacities, helpful for PTK and dystrophies

Grateful to present at the American Ophthalmological Society in Naples, FL! Our poster focused on detecting corneal opacities on OCT using a cornea model accounting for incidence angle and depth-dependent reflectance. This enables objective opacity mapping and aids PTK planning.
