Complications of corneal collagen cross-linking. [PDF]

Indian J Ophthalmol, 2022
Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is an effective treatment for arresting progression in patients with keratoconus. CXL was approved by United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of progressive keratoconus in 2016. It is a relatively safe procedure with a low complication rate. As this approach becomes more popular, it is paramount

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 the procedure exists because the patient is subjected to epithelial debridement and the application

Corneal collagen cross-linking for treating keratoconus. [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2015
BACKGROUND: Keratoconus is a condition of the eye that affects approximately 1 in 2000 people. The disease leads to a gradual increase in corneal curvature and decrease in visual acuity with consequent impact on quality of life.

Corneal collagen cross-linking: A review

Journal of Optometry, 2014
The aim was to review the published literature on corneal collagen cross-linking. The emphasis was on the seminal publications, systemic reviews, meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials. Where such an evidence did not exist, selective large series cohort studies, case controlled studies and case series with follow-up preferably greater than 12 ...

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 ...

Evolution of Corneal Collagen Cross-linking

Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023
Corneal Collagen crosslinking (CXL) has brought a breakthrough in the field of ophthalmology. CXL strengthens the corneal tissue by utilizing riboflavin (Vitamin B2) which acts as a photosensitizer. CXL has been evolving over many years. The evidence is that it was first proposed for the collagen and Elastins over the porcine eyes which demonstrated ...
