Long-term results of accelerated and conventional corneal cross-linking

International Ophthalmology, 2020
The aim of this study is to compare the long-term follow-up outcomes of traditional and accelerated corneal cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus.This retrospective comparative cohort study included patients with keratoconus who underwent corneal cross-linking (CXL) between August 2008 and December 2016.

Subclinical Inflammatory Response: Accelerated versus Standard Corneal Cross-Linking

Ocular Immunology and Inflammation, 2018
Purpose: To compare the subclinical inflammatory response (as measured by anterior chamber flare) induced after standard (3 mW/cm2, 30 min) and accelerated (18 mW/cm2, 5 min) corneal cross-linking (CXL). Methods: In this comparative, non-randomized study, patients with progressive keratoconus who underwent standard or accelerated CXL were studied ...

Accelerated Corneal Cross-Linking

2018
Purpose: Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is a relatively new treatment that offers refractive stability in patients with corneal ectatic disorders. The conventional Dresden protocol has been firstly described, and its effectiveness has been demonstrated by several clinical trials.

Myasthenic Antibodies Cross-Link Acetylcholine Receptors to Accelerate Degradation

New England Journal of Medicine, 1978
The decrease of acetylcholine receptors at neuromuscular junctions of myasthenic patients has been attributed to an antibody-mediated autoimmune process that accelerates receptor degradation. We studied the mechanism of this process in skeletal-muscle cultures, using intact antibodies and antibody fragments.

Isotonic Riboflavin and HPMC With Accelerated Cross-Linking Protocol

Cornea, 2014
The aim of this study was to monitor corneal pachymetry changes during accelerated collagen cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus while using isotonic riboflavin with HPMC.All consecutive patients who underwent CXL for progressive keratoconus, using accelerated protocol and isotonic riboflavin with HPMC, from December 2012 to September 2013 were included

Principles of Accelerated Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking

2017
Prior to the advent of the corneal collagen cross-linking procedure, no conservative treatment for corneal ectasia existed, with 20% of keratoconus patients progressing to eventually require penetrating keratoplasty [1].

Microbial Keratitis After Accelerated Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking in Keratoconus

Cornea, 2017
Purpose: To assess the pattern of microbial keratitis after accelerated corneal collagen cross-linkage (aCXL) in patients with keratoconus. Method: The medical records of cases of keratoconus that underwent aCXL from June 2014 to May 2017 were reviewed.

Complications of accelerated corneal collagen cross-linking: review of 2025 eyes

International Ophthalmology, 2020
To evaluate the early- and late-stage complications of accelerated cross-linking (A-CXL) in a large case series and investigate the relationship of A-CXL complications with ocular and systemic conditions accompanying keratoconus.Retrospectively, records of 2025 eyes of 1184 patients diagnosed with keratoconus between March 2013 and 2020 who underwent A-
