collagen cross-linking
patients with keratoconus constitute a large proportion of patients suffering from anterior segment disorders. as of this time, however, its pathogenesis has not yet been elucidated. a reduction in cross-link between collagen molecules has been observed in keratoconic eyes as compared to normal ones. present approaches only address refractive errors resulting from the abnormal abnormal corneal ...
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...

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 کاملStandard versus trans-epithelial collagen cross-linking in keratoconus patients suitable for standard collagen cross-linking
PURPOSE Evaluating the clinical results of trans-epithelial collagen cross-linking (CXL) and standard CXL in patients with progressive keratoconus. METHODS This prospective study comprised 20 eyes of 20 patients with progressive keratoconus. Ten eyes were treated by standard CXL and ten by trans-epithelial cross-linking (TE-CXL, epithelium on) with 1 year of follow-up. All patients underwent ...
متن کاملImmobilization of the Alkaline Phosphatase on Collagen Surface via Cross-Linking Method
Background: Collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body, and as an extracellular matrix protein, has an important role in the fiber formation. This feature of the collagen renders establishment of the structural skeleton in tissues. Regarding specific features associated with the collagen, such as, formation of the porous structure, permeability and hydrophilicity, it can also be use...
