Dr. Qawasmi is originally a Palestinian doctor who was born in the city ofRamla. The roots of his family, since long before the Palestinian catastrophe (Nakba), are from Hebron and Jerusalem. He currently lives living in Jordan. Dr. Qawasmi remembers well what his parents told him about the Nakba of 1948, of how the terrorists from the zionist agency looted three houses and a number of shops owned by his family in the context of the ethnic cleansing campaign against Palestinians which affected dozens of Palestinian cities and towns on which later the zionists established their so-called Israel on the ruins of Palestinian property and homeland. Dr. Qawasmi nowadays is one of the most famous Cornea specialists, not in the Kingdom of Jordan but worldwide.
The lecture is the only and first time in the world which that this new discovery in the field of Paired arcuate and circular keratotomy has been presented to a wider public, it is titled: ”Paired arcuate and circular keratotomy: Alternative intervention technique for Stage III and IV keratoconus”. The content of the lecture simply talks about the outcomes of “paired arcuate keratotomy” coupled with a modified form of circular keratotomy in a single surgical procedure in eyes with stage III and IV keratoconus to reduce astigmatism, increase corneal volume, and improve visual acuity. The paired arcuate affects 2 out of every thousand citizens, and this number is expected to increase in the future. In this context, the use of lasers for the treatment of short and long sight is in consideration.The lecture is now published for the first time after the end of the ARABMED conference in Madrid, where I had opportunity to talk with the doctor Qawasmi and where he provided me with a copy of his lecture.This manuscript has not been published elsewhere and has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere.Title: Paired arcuate and circular keratotomy: Alternative intervention technique for Stage III and IV keratoconus
