متن کاملCorneal Collagen Cross-Linking Outcomes: Review
Keratoconus is a condition characterized by biomechanical instability of the cornea, presenting in a progressive, asymmetric and bilateral way. Corneal collagen cross-linking with riboflavin and UVA (CXL) is a new technique of corneal tissue strengthening that combines the use of riboflavin as a photo sensitizer and UVA irradiation. The studies showed that CXL was effective in halting the progr...
متن کاملCorneal collagen cross-linking procedures
Objective: to present corneal collagen corsslinking techniques. Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is a procedure used to slow down or arrest the progression of keratoconus in order to avoid or, at least delay the necessity of keratoplasty. CXL means photopolimerisation of the stromal fibrillar tissue, in order to increase their stiffness and resistance to the corneal ectasia. CXL is a proces...

متن کاملRecent Innovations in Collagen Corneal Cross-linking; a Mini Review
BACKGROUND The introduction of corneal cross-linking (CXL) with ultraviolet-A (UVA) and Riboflavin photosensitizer (Vit B2) from Seiler et al., revolutionized the treatment of Keratoconus and other corneal ectatic diseases. Today, the commonly known epithelium off Dresden protocol is in clinical use for the last 15 years with great success and regarded by many as the golden standard. METHODS ...
