collagen cross-linking
patients with keratoconus constitute a large proportion of patients suffering from anterior segment disorders. as of this time, however, its pathogenesis has not yet been elucidated. a reduction in cross-link between collagen molecules has been observed in keratoconic eyes as compared to normal ones. present approaches only address refractive errors resulting from the abnormal abnormal corneal ...
متن کاملCollagen Cross-Linking: Current Status and Future Directions
Collagen cross-linking (CXL) using UVA light and riboflavin (vitamin B2) was introduced as a clinical application to stabilize the cornea by inducing cross-links within and between collagen fibers. CXL has been investigated extensively and has been shown clinically to arrest the progression of keratoconic or post-LASIK ectasia. With its minimal cost, simplicity, and proven positive clinical out...
متن کاملHistopathological Finding of Cornea after Collagen Cross-Linking Using Riboflavin and Ultraviolet A in Rabbit
Purpose: To evaluate the histopathological changes of the cornea in rabbit corneas after accelerated collagen cross-linking. Methods: Right eyes of 7 adult New Zealand albino rabbits weighing 1.5 to 2.0 kg were studied. Right eyes of all animals were in the treatment group and left eyes were in the control group. The epithelium of all right eyes was removed and was crossed-linked with riboflavi...

Methods: The present study was a double-blind clinical trial study that was ...
متن کاملStandard versus trans-epithelial collagen cross-linking in keratoconus patients suitable for standard collagen cross-linking
PURPOSE Evaluating the clinical results of trans-epithelial collagen cross-linking (CXL) and standard CXL in patients with progressive keratoconus. METHODS This prospective study comprised 20 eyes of 20 patients with progressive keratoconus. Ten eyes were treated by standard CXL and ten by trans-epithelial cross-linking (TE-CXL, epithelium on) with 1 year of follow-up. All patients underwent ...
