Mesopic quality of vision after accelerated 18 mW/cm2 corneal cross-linking: Mid-term results

Mesopic visual quality after accelerated corneal cross linking: A 12-month follow-up study

PURPOSE To determine the 1-year changes of mesopic higher order aberrations (HOAs) and contrast sensitivity (CS) after accelerated corneal cross linking (CXL) in progressive keratoconus. METHODS In this prospective case series, 70 eyes of 62 keratoconic patients underwent accelerated CXL (18 mW/cm2, 5 min). HOAs and CS were measured using the OPD Scan III and CSV-1000 CS test charts under mes...

Evaluation of Corneal Aberrometry Parameters Before and After Cross-Linking in Patients with Keratoconus

Background and Objective: In the last decade, cross-linking (CXL) has been widely used for treating people with progressive keratoconus. The present study aimed to compare corneal aberrometry parameters before and after CXL in patients with keratoconus. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 67 patients with keratoconus referred to Farshchian Sina Medical Education Center, Hamad...

Corneal endothelial changes after accelerated corneal collagen cross-linking in keratoconus and postLASIK ectasia

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of accelerated cross-linking (CXL) on corneal endothelium in keratoconus and postlaser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) ectasia. DESIGN This study is a prospective nonrandomized controlled study. SETTING This study was conducted in Mansoura Ophthalmic Center (Mansoura University) and Al-Mostakbal Ophthalmic Center, Mansour...

Age-Related Long-Term Functional Results after Riboflavin UV A Corneal Cross-Linking

Purpose. To report a comparative prospective long-term functional analysis after Riboflavin UV A corneal cross-linking (CXL) in three different age groups of patients affected by progressive keratoconus (KC). Methods. Functional analysis comprised paediatric patients (≤18 years) included 152 eyes (29.5%); intermediate group (19-26 years) 286 eyes (55.4%), and adults (≥27 years) 78 eyes (15.1%)....
