Determining the efficacy of corneal crosslinking in progressive keratoconus
OBJECTIVE To determine the Efficacy of Corneal Crosslinkage (CXL), using Corneal Topography, in eyes with progressive Keratoconus. METHODS This randomized control trial was conducted at Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalmology, Rawalpindi, Pakistan from October 2013 to April 2014. A total of 60 eyes of 30 patients were included who presented with bilateral progressive Keratoconus. Each eye of ...
متن کاملOutcome of Corneal Collagen Crosslinking for Progressive Keratoconus in Paediatric Patients
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of corneal collagen crosslinking for progressive keratoconus in paediatric patients. METHODS This prospective study included 25 eyes of 18 patients (aged 18 years or younger) who underwent collagen crosslinking performed using riboflavin and ultraviolet-A irradiation (370 nm, 3 mW/cm2, 30 min). RESULTS The mean patient age was 14.3±2.4 years (range 8-17) and...
متن کاملAccelerated Corneal Collagen Crosslinking for the treatment of Keratoconus
Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL) is a method that has been established as the treatment of choice for keratoconus. Corneal strengthening is achieved with the use of riboflavin (vitamin B2) in combination with ultraviolet radiation UV-A. According to clinical trials conducted in the last years and based on the latest publications, this technique has advanced. The time needed for the procedure...

متن کاملCorneal collagen crosslinking in keratoconus and other eye disease.
Keratoconus is a condition characterized by biomechanical instability of the cornea, presenting in a progressive, asymmetric and bilateral way. Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) with riboflavin and Ultraviolet-A (UVA) is a new technique of corneal tissue strengthening that combines the use of riboflavin as a photo sensitizer and UVA irradiation. Studies showed that CXL was effective in haltin...
