Dr Maria Cabrera chats with Dr Himal Kandel (@kandelhimal), a Research Associate at the University of Sydney, Save Sight Institute about the importance of a quality-of-life questionnaire in keratoconus. Measuring quality of life, an abstract term, is a bit more complex than measuring length or weight. But a quality-of-life questionnaire can allow us to measure it in a scientific way to find out how keratoconus treatments and disease progression are impacting people’s quality of life. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please send them to sydeyepodcast@gmail.comThe Transcript is available in the 'Transcript' tab on this page.Contact Dr Himal Kandel:Email: himal.kandel@sydney.edu.auTwitter: @kandelhimalLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/himalkandel/  Don't forget to listen to our previous episodes -->Ep5: A glimpse on a new technology for corneal surgeryEp4: Eye injury registryEp3: Herpes Simplex KeratitisEp2: Antimicrobial resistance in corneal infectionsEp1: Corneal infection and contact lensesConnect with us using #SydeyepodTwitter:  @CabreraMarie Instagram: @drmariacabrera LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-cabrera-aguas/Music provided by: Energized morning by AiraeLink: https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/xF2ADhIuB9
