متن کاملTreatment of bullous keratopathy with corneal collagen cross-linking in two dogs.
OBJECTIVE Corneal collagen cross-linking with riboflavin and UV-A (CXL) decreases corneal oedema and increases visual acuity in human patients with bullous keratopathy. Presumed mechanisms are an increase in collagen packing density and a reduction in stromal swelling pressure. We present two cases in which CXL was used to treat bullous keratopathy in dogs. PROCEDURES Four eyes of two dogs wi...
