Nocardia keratitis following corneal cross linking for keratoconus
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology. Case Reports, 2021 We report a case of Nocardia keratitis following corneal cross-linking for progressive keratoconus. A 26-year-old otherwise healthy woman underwent crosslinking for keratoconus in her left eye.

Trans-epithelial accelerated corneal cross-linking for keratoconus in children [PDF]
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017 The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of trans-epithelial accelerated corneal cross-linking (TE-ACXL) in children with progressive keratoconus. Retrospective, case-series of 23 eyes of 14 children who underwent TE-ACXL.

Additional Applications of Corneal Cross Linking [PDF]
The Open Ophthalmology Journal, 2011 Corneal collagen cross-linking (CxL) is a prevalent surgical method for the management of keratoconus. However, literature suggests that, further to keratoconus, CxL has a beneficial impact on a series of corneal related diseases and states. This article attempts to provide a contemporary review for all additional applications of CxL.

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 ...

The theory and art of corneal cross-linking
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013 Before the discovery of corneal cross-linking (CXL), patients with keratoconus would have had to undergo corneal transplantation, or wear rigid gas permeable lenses (RGPs) that would temporarily flatten the cone, thereby improving the vision. The RGP contact lens (CL) would not however alter the corneal stability and if the keratoconus was progressive,

Cross-Linking and Corneal Imaging Advances [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2015 Corneal cross-linking, a technique employing UV-A illumination and a photomediator to induce corneal rigidity, is a widely recognized procedure for the stabilization or even possibly reversal of corneal ectasia progression in patients with keratoconus and post-LASIK ectasia.
