Transepithelial corneal cross-linking: a review. [PDF]
Int OphthalmolAbstract Purpose This review aims to summarize the current understanding of transepithelial corneal cross-linking (TE-CXL) for treating keratoconus (KC). It focuses on how TE-CXL compares with the standard epithelium-off cross-linking (S-CXL) and discusses recent improvements intended to make ...

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 ...
