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 ...

Corneal collagen cross-linking and keratoconus
, 2012 Keratoconus is a condition resulting in corneal ectasia. Abnormal protrusion of the cornea leads to reduced visual acuity. Riboflavin induced collagen cross-linking (CXL) has received significant attention the last few years and has shown to stop the progression of keratoconus.

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 ...
