Standard versus trans-epithelial collagen cross-linking in keratoconus patients suitable for standard collagen cross-linking
PURPOSE Evaluating the clinical results of trans-epithelial collagen cross-linking (CXL) and standard CXL in patients with progressive keratoconus. METHODS This prospective study comprised 20 eyes of 20 patients with progressive keratoconus. Ten eyes were treated by standard CXL and ten by trans-epithelial cross-linking (TE-CXL, epithelium on) with 1 year of follow-up. All patients underwent ...
متن کاملCustomized epithelial debridement for thin ectatic corneas undergoing corneal cross-linking: epithelial island cross-linking technique
Thin corneas with a minimum corneal thickness less than 400 μm after epithelial removal represent a contraindication to standard epithelium-off cross-linking (CXL) treatment due to a significant endothelial cell density decrease and potentiality of permanent haze development. Preoperative swelling of the cornea with hypoosmolar riboflavin solutions broadens the spectrum of CXL indications to th...
متن کاملChemical cross linking versus high energy electron beam cross linking of HDPE: electrical properties study
Cross linking of high density polyethylene (HDPE) was first performed via high energy10 Mev electron beam (EB) irradiation. HDPE was also cross linked withDicumyle peroxide (DCP).The gel content of samples was determined by solvent extraction.Degree of cross linking was evaluated by hot set apparatus; as well .In order to clarify the effectof nature of cross linking, correlation of electrical p...
متن کاملVisual and topographic impacts of trans-epithelial versus epithelium-off corneal collagen cross-linking in adult keratoconus
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of trans-epithelial cross-linking (TE-CXL) and to compare the visual and topographic outcomes of TE-CXL versus epithelium-off cross-linking (CXL) in adult keratoconus (KC). Design: A prospective non-randomized open case series. Methods: The study enrolled 27 KC eyes of 15 patients treated by TE-CXL (group I) and 35 KC eyes of 20 patients treated by epithelial-o...
متن کاملCustomized pachymetric guided epithelial debridement for corneal collagen cross linking
BACKGROUND We describe a modified method for deepitheliazation prior to corneal cross linking (CXL). The technique may overcome the current corneal pachymetric limitation parameter (over 400 microns) that is necessary for the safety of the procedure without affecting the overall benefits. METHODS In a series of two patients, with inferior topographic steepening and regional thinning (less tha...
