Effect of treatment sequence in combined intrastromal corneal rings and corneal collagen crosslinking for keratoconus.
PURPOSE To compare 2 sequences of combined intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation and ultraviolet/riboflavin-mediated corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) in progressive keratoconus. SETTING Dunya Eye Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey. METHODS In this prospective comparative randomized consecutive study, CXL was followed by ICRS implantation (Group 1) or ICRS implantation was followe...

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...
