This work started at the beginning of 1940 with the investigation of experimental mustard gas lesions on the eye and their treatment. In the course of this work it was found that secondary infection played an important part in determining the severity of the lesions produc...
متن کاملCorneal crosslinking with riboflavin and ultraviolet A. I. Principles.
Changes in the biomechanical properties of the human cornea play an important role in the pathogenesis of corneal ectatic diseases. Biomechanical investigation shows significant differences between human ectatic corneas and normal corneas, including decreased stiffness and reduction of collagen crosslinks in the ectatic cornea. Induction of crosslinks is a well-established procedure in polymer ...
متن کاملAlternative ultraviolet A lamp for corneal collagen crosslinking
In this paper, we describe an original, affordable, and available device for performing collagen crosslinking. This is carried out in a safe and reproducible way by means of a simple modification to an affordable ultraviolet A lamp and by preparing riboflavin 0.1% solution inhouse.
متن کاملCorneal Crosslinking for the Treatment of Keratitis
S ince the introduction of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL), this therapeutic procedure has been developed as an option for the management of keratoconus and other corneal ectatic conditions. A number of publications have assessed the safety and clinical efficacy of the procedure in the treatment of these conditions. Such studies seem to signify that CXL is a treatment that decreases the nee...
متن کاملTreatment of peripheral corneal ulcers by limlial conjunctivectomy.
We report the rapid healing of several cases of marginal corneal ulceration of various aetiologies after the excision of a 4 to 7 mm strip of adjacent limbal conjunctiva. After conjunctivectomy the remaining conjunctiva was loosely recessed (without sutures). In one case with coexisting scleromalacia, we excised strips of adjacent bulbar conjunctiva with equally good results. Some of the cases ...
