Three-year outcomes of customized transepithelial corneal cross-linking with oxygen supplementation in keratoconus [PDF]
BMC OphthalmologyBackground Customized corneal cross-linking (CXL) has primarily been performed using the epithelium-off technique. Evidence on epithelium-preserving (transepithelial or epi-on) customized procedures remains limited, particularly with high oxygen ...
