Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s Eye Institute and Research Department will conduct a study to assess the prevalence of keratoconus, a progressive eye disease that can lead to blindness if untreated, in the UAE. The hospital aims to raise awareness about keratoconus, which has higher rates in the UAE compared to other regions. Typically detected in teenage years or early 20s, the exact cause of keratoconus is unknown. The hospital emphasizes the importance of early screening and detection for accurate treatment. Dr. David Gritz, a staff physician at the Eye Institute, highlights their goal of developing a national screening program in collaboration with governing authorities. The hospital encourages people between the ages of 18 and 30 years to participate in the study.
