Efficacy and safety of transepithelial collagen cross linking for progressive keratoconus
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transepithelial (TE) collagen cross-linking (CXL) in patients with progressive keratoconus (KC). METHODS This Quasi Experimental Study was conducted at PNS Shifa Naval Hospital, Karachi from June 2015 to June 2016. Sixty eyes of 32 patients who underwent TE CXL for progressive KC from June 2015 to June 2016 were analysed to ascertain efficacy a...

PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a prospective interventional consecutive study carried out on 30 eyes of 18 patients with progressive keratoconus who underwent TE-CLX using both ParaCel™ (riboflavin 0.25%, hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose, NaCl, ethylenediaminetetra...
متن کاملCollagen Crosslinking for Keratoconus
In this issue of JOVR, Derakhshan and co-authors 1 describe the results of crosslinking for patients with early keratoconus. Collagen crosslinking is a recently described technique of corneal tissue strengthening using riboflavin as a photosensitizer and ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation to promote the formation of intra-and interfibrillar covalent bonds by photosensitized oxidation. 2 To date, it ...
