Accelerated versus Conventional Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking for Progressive Keratoconus
We aimed to compare the effect of accelerated and conventional corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) on visual, refractive, and topographic parameters in patients with progressive keratoconus. Between December 2014 and February 2016, at Imam Khomeini Hospital, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Iran, we compared 37 eyes of 21 patients treated by conventional CXL (CCXL; 3 mW/cm2 in...

متن کاملCurrent Concepts and Future Developments of Corneal Cross-Linking
The introduction of corneal cross-linking (CXL) has changed the landscape of treatment and management of keratoconus and ectasia after refractive surgery. Previously, treatment options provided only temporary visual rehabilitation without limiting disease progression. Keratoconus and ectasia resulted in significant vision-related reduction in quality of life and a substantial lifetime economic ...

Since its inception in the late 1990s, corneal cross-linking has grown from an interesting concept to a primary treatment for corneal ectatic disease worldwide. Using a combination of ultraviolet-A light and a chromophore (vitamin B2, riboflavin), the cornea can be stiffened, usually with a single application, and progressive thinning diseases such as keratoconus arrested. Despite being in clin...
