Transepithelial corneal collagen cross-linking in ultrathin keratoconic corneas
BACKGROUND The purpose of this paper was to report the results of transepithelial corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) with modified riboflavin and ultraviolet A irradiation in patients affected by keratoconus, each with thinnest pachymetry values of less than 400 μm (with epithelium) and not treatable using standard de-epithelialization techniques. METHODS Sixteen patients affected by progre...
متن کاملCorneal biomechanical properties in normal, regular astigmatic, and keratoconic eyes
Corneal hysteresis (CH) is a parameter which measures the viscoelastic behaviour of the cornea, indicating its biomechanical integrity1. Some clinical conditions such as keratoconus, Fuchs corneal dystrophy, high myopia, glaucoma and corneal refractive surgery, may induce changes in corneal biomechanical properties, leading to a decrease in CH2-6. Astigmatism, a refractive error related to corn...
متن کاملTransepithelial corneal cross-linking in pediatric patients: early results.
PURPOSE To report 18-month follow-up after transepithelial cross-linking (CXL) in young patients. METHODS Thirteen eyes with keratoconus were evaluated (mean patient age: 14.4 ± 3.7 years [range: 8 to 18 years]). Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA); spherical equivalent refraction; keratometry (K); coma, spherical aberration, and higher order aberrations (HOAs) for a 5.0-mm pupil; and thi...
متن کاملCorneal Biomechanical Assessment Using Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology in Keratoconic and Normal Eyes
Purpose. To compare the corneal biomechanical properties of keratoconic patients and age-matched controls using corneal visualization Scheimpflug technology (Corvis ST). Methods. Sixty keratoconic eyes from 47 keratoconus patients and 60 normal eyes from 60 controls were enrolled in this prospective study. Tomography and biomechanical parameters of all eyes were obtained with the Pentacam and C...
متن کاملCorneal collagen cross-linking for keratoconic cornea pretreated with PRK.
To the Editor: We read the recent article by Tuwairqi and Sinjab,1 which appeared in the May 2012 issue of the Journal of Refractive Surgery, and would like to offer some comments. Tuwairqi and Sinjab, in this prospective and noncontrolled study, performed corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in patients with stage 1 or 2 keratoconus pretreated with topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy...
