The Lombardi Eye Clinic, a specialized center for keratoconus treatment, is headed by Dr. Massimo Lombardi. The clinic is at the avant-garde in keratoconus research, diagnosis and treatment. Keratoconus is a pathology that affects the corneal collagen layers, and is caused by an infective sub acute chronic keratocongiunctivitis. Symptoms of keratoconus include burning, sensation of foreign body, the need to rub one's eyes, and in many cases an eye dryness.
Dr. Lombardi, working at his center for keratoconus, made a breakthrough in the early 80s, by applying the same principles used in Radial Keratotomy, strategically located incisions in the cornea to correct myopia disorders, to treat keratoconus. He developed a new technique, Asymmetric Radial Keratotomy and mini-A.R.K as a cure for keratoconus. This technique for keratoconus treatment has its past in the Radial Keratotomies performed first by Sato (1955), and then by Fyodorov (1975). This technique is routinely performed at the center for keratoconus in Rome.
