Evaluation of corneal symmetry after UV corneal crosslinking for keratoconus
Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess UV corneal crosslinking (CXL) treatment outcomes for keratoconus by evaluating the corneal regularity in patients through follow-up using the Oculus Pentacam. Patients and methods A total of 18 eyes from CXL patients with keratoconus were studied before and after CXL treatment, and six eyes from six patients who were not treated with CXL served ...
متن کاملDetermining the efficacy of corneal crosslinking in progressive keratoconus
OBJECTIVE To determine the Efficacy of Corneal Crosslinkage (CXL), using Corneal Topography, in eyes with progressive Keratoconus. METHODS This randomized control trial was conducted at Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalmology, Rawalpindi, Pakistan from October 2013 to April 2014. A total of 60 eyes of 30 patients were included who presented with bilateral progressive Keratoconus. Each eye of ...
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...
متن کاملAccelerated 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 کاملIontophoresis-assisted versus standard corneal crosslinking for progressive keratoconus
Keratoconus is a bilateral, asymmetrical, non-inflammatory, progressive disease, which induces a conical cornea and visual impairment because of biomechanical changes (1). Keratoplasty is an effective method for this ectatic corneal disorder, however, donor cornea is devoid seriously especially in Asia including China. Conservative treatment approaches could not prevent deterioration of the con...
