Corneal 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...
متن کاملTransepithelial 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 collagen cross-linking procedures
Objective: to present corneal collagen corsslinking techniques. Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is a procedure used to slow down or arrest the progression of keratoconus in order to avoid or, at least delay the necessity of keratoplasty. CXL means photopolimerisation of the stromal fibrillar tissue, in order to increase their stiffness and resistance to the corneal ectasia. CXL is a proces...
متن کاملCorneal Collagen Cross Linking - PLUS
The management of keratoconus and post – LASIK ectasia included until recently spectacle correction, Hard Fitted Gas Permeable Contact Lenses, Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments. All these interventions are purely symptomatic and their only aim is the improvement of visual function of patients, without interfering with the pathophysiology of the ectatic disorders. The only actual treatment for ...
متن کاملCorneal Collagen Cross-Linking with Hypoosmolar Riboflavin Solution in Keratoconic Corneas
PURPOSE To report the 12-month outcomes of corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) with a hypoosmolar riboflavin and ultraviolet-A (UVA) irradiation in thin corneas. METHODS Eight eyes underwent CXL using a hypoosmolar riboflavin solution after epithelial removal. The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), manifest refraction, the mean thinnest corneal thickness (MTCT), and the endothelial cel...
