Complications of Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking [PDF]

Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011
Cross-linking of corneal collagen (CXL) is a promising approach for the treatment of keratoconus and secondary ectasia. Several long-term and short-term complications of CXL have been studied and documented. The possibility of a secondary infection after

Keratoconus and corneal collagen cross-linking

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013
Keratoconus, a degenerative disorder of the cornea, causes significant visual distortion and photophobia. Diagnosed in early life, it has a considerable influence on the patient's daily activities and visual needs. A study of the rural population in Central India gave a prevalence of 2.3% +/- 0.2% among those aged 30 years and above.[1] The ...
