Accelerated ReaxFF Simulations for Describing the Reactive Cross-Linking of Polymers
Various methods have been developed to perform atomistic-scale simulations for the cross-linking of polymers. Most of these methods involve connecting the reactive sites of the monomers, but these typically do not capture the entire reaction process from

Standard cross-linking versus photorefractive keratectomy combined with accelerated cross-linking for keratoconus management: a comparative study. [PDF]
AbstractPurposeTo compare the safety and efficacy of standard 30 min epithelium‐off cross‐linking (CXL) versus photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) combined with accelerated epithelium‐off cross‐linking (AXL) for the treatment of progressive keratoconus (CXL‐Plus).MethodsThis study was a prospective multicentre comparative clinical study.

Response to O'Brart: 'Is accelerated cross-linking the way forward? Yes or No'. [PDF]
Sir, We welcome the comments of O'Brart1 regarding our controversy articles ‘Is Accelerated cross-linking the way forward? Yes or No'.2, 3 We agree that the presence of a demarcation line cannot be taken in isolation as a measure of treated versus untreated cornea; however, there is substantial microscopic, biomechanical and clinical evidence4, 5,

Accelerated vs. conventional collagen cross‑linking for infectious keratitis
Infectious keratitis represents a serious concern for ophthalmologists, with a progressively growing incidence in the last few years. In this prospective comparative study, we evaluated two groups of patients with infectious keratitis or corneal ulcer resistant to antimicrobial and antifungal therapy, treated respectively with conventional and ...

Correlation between changes in corneal asphericity and progression of keratoconus in children
Clinical relevance Early detection of keratoconus (KC) progression and timing for retreatment. Background Q value (coefficient of corneal asphericity) reflects the shape of the cornea, its refractive power, and spherical aberration.
