The International Keratoconus Academy (IKA) of Eye Care Professionals will host its 4th annual IKA Keratoconus Symposium on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt DFW Airport, in Dallas, Texas. The Symposium, for eyecare professionals, such as optometrists, ophthalmologists, residents and fellows, will focus on Interventional Keratoconus and Epithelium-On Crosslinking.
“The pace of innovation in keratoconus management has never been greater,” stresses Andrew S. Morgenstern, OD, FAAO, FNAP, president, co-founder and co-chair of the International Keratoconus Academy. “This symposium will bring together many of the world’s leading experts to translate the latest scientific evidence into practical action step attendees can immediately incorporate into their practices.”
This year’s focus reflects the IKA’s commitment to providing a comprehensive understanding of keratoconus, while highlighting the multidisciplinary collaboration required to provide the best possible patient outcomes, Dr. Morgenstern adds.
Educational sessions will focus on early disease detection, advanced corneal imaging, corneal biomechanics, corneal crosslinking, specialty contact lens management, surgical decision-making, postoperative care and future innovations.
Additionally, participants will have opportunities to engage directly with faculty during interactive discussions and network with colleagues who share their commitment to excellence in corneal and specialty contact lens care for these patients.
Continuing education credit is expected through COPE and CME accreditation.
