Chang Reaction: Episode 15!
Thank you to special guest, Dr. Kevin Feng OD of Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus.
In this episode, Dr. Chang and Dr. Feng discuss the following common KC Questions:
★ "Why can't I wear glasses or soft contact lenses instead of hard lenses?"
★"I am having trouble inserting scleral lenses even with a lot of practice. What can I do now?
★"My doctor told me I read 20/20 on the chart in the office, but I still see two of each letter. Is that something that is supposed to fix itself?"
★"Do contact lenses cure or stop my keratoconus?”
Dr. Feng also shares about his experience undergoing a contact lens residency:
★Why did you decide to do a specialty contact lens residency?
★What are your post-residency plans?
