Iontophoresis-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...
متن کاملHigher order optical aberrations and visual acuity in a randomized controlled trial comparing transepithelial versus epithelium-off corneal crosslinking for progressive keratoconus
Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of transepithelial crosslinking (trans-CXL) versus epithelium-off crosslinking (epi-off CXL) for progressive keratoconus with respect to the development of higher order aberrations (HOAs) and their effects on visual acuity. Materials and methods A total of 61 patients were randomized and examined preoperatively and 1, 3, 6, and 12 m...
متن کاملTransepithelial corneal collagen crosslinking for keratoconus: six-month results.
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) using a transepithelial technique to treat keratoconus. SETTING Cornea and refractive surgery subspecialty practice. DESIGN Prospective clinical trial. METHODS Transepithelial CXL was performed in eyes with keratoconus using proparacaine with benzalkonium chloride (BAK) 0.01% to facilitate riboflavin absorp...
متن کاملTransepithelial corneal crosslinking in treatment of progressive keratoconus: 12 months’ clinical results
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transepithelial corneal collagen cross linking (TE-CXL) with modified riboflavin and accelerated UVA irradiance in thin corneas with pachymetry less than 400 microns at thinnest point, untreatable by epithelium off corneal collagen cross linking (CXL) in adult Pakistani population with progressive keratoconus. METH...
متن کاملTransepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy with Crosslinking for Keratoconus
PURPOSE To analyse visual, refractive and topographic outcomes of combining transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (tPRK) with simultaneous corneal crosslinking for the visual rehabilitation of contact lens intolerant keratoconus patients. METHODS Patients with topographically significant keratoconus, limited corrected vision and intolerant of contact lenses were prospectively recruited,...
