Accelerated Corneal Collagen Crosslinking for the treatment of Keratoconus
Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL) is a method that has been established as the treatment of choice for keratoconus. Corneal strengthening is achieved with the use of riboflavin (vitamin B2) in combination with ultraviolet radiation UV-A. According to clinical trials conducted in the last years and based on the latest publications, this technique has advanced. The time needed for the procedure...
متن کاملCollagen 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 ...

متن کاملCorneal collagen crosslinking in keratoconus and other eye disease.
Keratoconus is a condition characterized by biomechanical instability of the cornea, presenting in a progressive, asymmetric and bilateral way. Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) with riboflavin and Ultraviolet-A (UVA) is a new technique of corneal tissue strengthening that combines the use of riboflavin as a photo sensitizer and UVA irradiation. Studies showed that CXL was effective in haltin...
