Influence of corneal collagen crosslinking with riboflavin and ultraviolet-a irradiation on excimer laser surgery.
PURPOSE Riboflavin/ultraviolet A (UVA) cross-linking (CXL) of corneal collagen is a novel method of stabilizing corneal mechanical properties and preventing progression of keratectasias. This study was conducted to investigate whether CXL influences ablation rate, flap thickness, and refractive results of excimer laser procedures ex vivo. METHODS Corneal epithelium was removed from enucleated...
متن کاملCorneal crosslinking with riboflavin and ultraviolet A. Part II. Clinical indications and results.
Changes in the biomechanical properties of the human cornea play an important role in the pathogenesis of corneal ectatic diseases. A variety of conditions in primary acquired (keratoconus and pellucid marginal degeneration) or secondary induced (iatrogenic keratectasia after excimer refractive laser surgery) corneal ectatic disorders lead to reduced biomechanical resistance. Corneal collagen c...
متن کاملSimultaneous topography-guided PRK followed by corneal collagen cross-linking after lamellar keratoplasty for keratoconus
BACKGROUND The purpose of this paper is to report the results of using combined treatment of customized excimer laser-assisted photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and prophylactic corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) for residual refractive error in a group of patients who had previously undergone lamellar keratoplasty for keratoconus. METHODS The study included 14 eyes from 14 patients who had ...
متن کاملDetermination of the excimer laser ablation rate in previously cross-linked corneas.
PURPOSE To evaluate the need for and quantify the extent of nomogram adjustments to compensate for potential changes in the amount of effective corneal stroma ablated in previously cross-linked corneas. METHODS Ex vivo porcine corneas were divided into two groups (the corneal cross-linking [CXL] group, n = 30; and the control group, n = 3): these experimental corneas underwent CXL including d...
متن کاملHyperopic correction: clinical validation with epithelium-on and epithelium-off protocols, using variable fluence and topographically customized collagen corneal crosslinking
PURPOSE To report novel application of topographically-customized collagen crosslinking aiming to achieve hyperopic refractive changes. Two approaches were evaluated, one based on epithelium-off and one based on epithelium-on (transepithelial). METHODS A peripheral annular-shaped topographically customizable design was employed for high-fluence ultraviolet (UV)-A irradiation aiming to achieve...
