Collagen Crosslinking for Keratoconus

In this issue of JOVR, Derakhshan and co-authors 1 describe the results of crosslinking for patients with early keratoconus. Collagen crosslinking is a recently described technique of corneal tissue strengthening using riboflavin as a photosensitizer and ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation to promote the formation of intra-and interfibrillar covalent bonds by photosensitized oxidation. 2 To date, it ...

Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy with Crosslinking for Keratoconus

PURPOSE To analyse visual, refractive and topographic outcomes of combining transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (tPRK) with simultaneous corneal crosslinking for the visual rehabilitation of contact lens intolerant keratoconus patients. METHODS Patients with topographically significant keratoconus, limited corrected vision and intolerant of contact lenses were prospectively recruited,...

Combined collagen crosslinking treatments for keratoconus.

The landscape of keratoconus treatment has changed profoundly since the introduction of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL). A decade ago, a newly diagnosed keratoconus patient could expect a treatment plan that involved gradual escalation from spectacle correction to contact lens wear, perhaps followed by an attempt to improve contact lens tolerance or spectacle acuity with intrastromal cornea...

Evaluation of corneal symmetry after UV corneal crosslinking for keratoconus

Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess UV corneal crosslinking (CXL) treatment outcomes for keratoconus by evaluating the corneal regularity in patients through follow-up using the Oculus Pentacam. Patients and methods A total of 18 eyes from CXL patients with keratoconus were studied before and after CXL treatment, and six eyes from six patients who were not treated with CXL served ...
