Corneal stromal demarcation line after collagen cross-linking in corneal ectatic diseases: a review of the literature
Collagen cross-linking (CXL) is a relatively new conservative approach for progressive corneal ectasia, which is able to strengthen corneal tissue reforming new covalent bonds. Subjective and objective results following this method seem to be promising. In recent years, newer CXL protocols have been developed to perform more effective and less invasive procedures. The increasing diffusion of CX...
متن کاملReduced cross-linking demarcation line depth at the peripheral cornea after corneal collagen cross-linking.
PURPOSE To compare the corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) demarcation line depth between the central and peripheral cornea after cross-linking using anterior segment optical coherence tomography. METHODS Retrospective interventional case series of 38 eyes with keratoconus or postoperative LASIK ectasia treated with riboflavin ultraviolet A CXL (UV-X, IROC). CXL demarcation line depth, corne...
متن کاملCorneal collagen cross-linking: a review.
The aim was to review the published literature on corneal collagen cross-linking. The emphasis was on the seminal publications, systemic reviews, meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials. Where such an evidence did not exist, selective large series cohort studies, case controlled studies and case series with follow-up preferably greater than 12 months were included. Riboflavin/Ultraviolet...
متن کاملEvaluation of Corneal Stromal Demarcation Line after Two Different Protocols of Accelerated Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking Procedures Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography and Confocal Microscopy
Purpose. To evaluate the depth of corneal stromal demarcation line using AS-OCT and confocal microscopy after two different protocols of accelerated corneal collagen cross-linking procedures (CXL). Methods. Patients with keratoconus were divided into two groups. Peschke CXL device (Peschke CCL-VARIO Meditrade GmbH) applied UVA light with an intended irradiance of 18.0 mW/cm(2) for 5 minutes aft...
متن کاملStromal Demarcation Line in Pulsed Versus Continuous Light Accelerated Corneal Cross-linking for Keratoconus.
PURPOSE To compare the stromal demarcation line depth in pulsed versus continuous corneal cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus. METHODS Seventy eyes underwent epithelium-off cross-linking, with 0.1% riboflavin applied during 10 minutes prior to ultraviolet irradiation at 30 mW/cm2. Thirty-six eyes received pulsed irradiation (1 second on, 1 second off) for 8 minutes and 34 eyes underwent conti...
