Microwave treatment for keratoconus

Those hundreds of patients, who suffer from cornea problems, can happily bid goodbye to transplants.
In a new treatment specialists are using microwave probe to heat the cornea to around 60 degree Celsius, a procedure that corrects rugby-ball eye - the abnormal shape caused by keratoconus
The temperature causes the front of the eye to shrink, restoring a normal spherical shape.
This is then ''locked-in'' with a burst of ultra-violet light, preventing further deterioration of the eye.

Did you ever have LASIK? A lot of the LASIK industry is calling LASIK induced thinning of the cornea, or ECTASIA, instead lying and calling you "misdiagnosed" with a disease called KERATACONUS. So be careful folks. The LASIK industry is evolving away from LASIK to Collagen Cross Linking "CCL" because they know thinning out the Cornea is NOT GOOD and causes Dry Eye Pain, the FLAP is permanent and never heals, etc... You've been warned!

22 years ago I read about research in using microwaves to reshape the cornea.

OMG!  I am crossing my fingers and praying this works! Europe is so advanced when it comes to medicine. The USA is so far behind due to politics and money. I need this done I hate having this disease!
