Corneal collagen cross-linking

Middle East African Journal of Ophthalmology, 2010
Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) with riboflavin and ultraviolet-A (UVA) is a new technique of corneal tissue strengthening by using riboflavin as a photosensitizer and UVA to increase the formation of intra and interfibrillar covalent bonds by photosensitized oxidation.Keratocyte apoptosis in the anterior segment of the corneal stroma all the way ...

Effects of Corneal Stromal Lens Collagen Cross-Linking Regraft on Corneal Biomechanics

Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022
Background. Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) therapy, a method that uses a combination of riboflavin and ultraviolet-A light (UVA), can promote the formation of covalent cross-linking of amino acid residues of corneal collagen and enhance the ...

Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking Outcomes: Review [PDF]

The Open Ophthalmology Journal, 2011
Keratoconus is a condition characterized by biomechanical instability of the cornea, presenting in a progressive, asymmetric and bilateral way. Corneal collagen cross-linking with riboflavin and UVA (CXL) is a new technique of corneal tissue strengthening that combines the use of riboflavin as a photo sensitizer and UVA irradiation.

Combined corneal CXL and photorefractive keratectomy for treatment of keratoconus: a review [PDF]

International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2019
Keratoconus and iatrogenic keratectasia are the corneal ectatic disorders occurring due to biomechanical weakening of the cornea resulting in distorted images, myopia, and irregular astigmatism. Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is performed to arrest
