Determining Progression in Ectatic Corneal Disease
Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020 Before the advent of modern tomographic imaging and corneal cross-linking (CXL), diagnosis and treatment of ectatic disease were limited to disease severity where changes on the anterior corneal surface lead to visual complaints. Rigid contact lenses and/or penetrating keratoplasty addressed late stage disease, as identifying early or subclinical ...

Corneal Ectatic Disease - Progression
International journal of Indian medicine, 2022 Before the appearance of recent tomographic imaging and membrane cross-linking (CXL), identification and treatment of ectatic unwellness was restricted to disease severity during which changes to the anterior corneal surface resulted in visual disturbances. Rigid contact lenses and/or penetrating corneal transplant treated advanced disease, as a result

Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty for Ectatic Disease
International Journal of Keratoconus and Ectatic Corneal Diseases, 2013 ABSTRACT Recently, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) has received attention for patients with ectatic diseases not affecting the endothelium. However, it was not always so. For years, DALK was overlooked due to the difficulty in achieving good visual results, which were considered weak in comparison with the results of penetrating keratoplasty
