PACK-CXL: Corneal Cross-linking for Treatment of Infectious Keratitis
This article discusses corneal cross-linking (CXL) and how it transitioned from a modality for treating corneal ectatic disorders to an inventive means of treating infectious keratitis. Initially, CXL was successfully developed to halt the progression of ectatic diseases such as keratoconus, using the standard Dresden protocol. Later, indications were extended to treat iatrogenic ectasia develo...

متن کاملAntibacterial efficacy of accelerated photoactivated chromophore for keratitis-corneal collagen cross-linking (PACK-CXL).
PURPOSE To investigate whether optimized photoactivated chromophore for keratitis-corneal collagen cross-linking (PACK-CXL) treatment settings allow accelerating treatment while maintaining antibacterial efficacy. METHODS Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were irradiated with ultraviolet-A light of equal fluence but different intensity settings (18 mW/cm² for 5 minutes ...
متن کاملCorneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) for the treatment of melting keratitis in cats and dogs: a pilot study.
OBJECTIVE UV-A/riboflavin cross-linking (CXL) of corneal collagen fibers is an established, highly promising therapy for corneal melting in physician-based ophthalmology. A prospective pilot study was conducted to demonstrate proof of principle of this novel method for the treatment of melting corneal ulcers in dogs and cats. PROCEDURES After obtaining owner consent, CXL was performed in thre...
متن کاملCollagen Cross- Linking for Paediatric Keratoconus
BACKGROUND Since the late 1990s corneal crosslinking (CXL) has been proposed as a new treatment option which can stop progression of keratoconus with promising results in adults. OBJECTIVE Keratoconus presents a higher rate and faster progression in paediatric patients and for this reason prompt and effective treatment is essential. Due to its success in adult keratoconus patients, CXL has be...
