A Review of Collagen Cross‐Linking in Cornea and Sclera
Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Riboflavin/UVA cross‐linking is a technique introduced in the past decades for the treatment of keratoconus, keratectasia, and infectious keratitis. Its efficacy and safety have been investigated with clinical and laboratory studies since its first clinical application by Wollensak for the treatment of keratoconus.

Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Aim. To report a case of 40‐year‐old male with progressive bilateral keratoconus who had undergone transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy (TE‐PTK) and corneal collagen cross‐linking (CXL) using hypoosmolar riboflavin solution in a same day procedure. Methods. Eye examination showed that UCDVA on both eyes was 0,01 according to Snellen charts, and

Corneal Collagen Cross‐Linking in Pellucid Marginal Degeneration: 2 Patients, 4 Eyes
Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Purpose. To report the long‐term results of corneal collagen cross‐linking (CXL) with riboflavin and ultraviolet‐A irradiation in 4 eyes of 2 patients affected by pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD). Methods. This study involved the retrospective analysis of 4 eyes of 2 patients with PMD that underwent CXL treatment.

Corneal Biomechanical Properties in Different Ocular Conditions and New Measurement Techniques
International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Several refractive and therapeutic treatments as well as several ocular or systemic diseases might induce changes in the mechanical resistance of the cornea. Furthermore, intraocular pressure measurement, one of the most used clinical tools, is also highly dependent on this characteristic.

Collagen Cross‐Linking: Current Status and Future Directions
Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Collagen cross‐linking (CXL) using UVA light and riboflavin (vitamin B2) was introduced as a clinical application to stabilize the cornea by inducing cross‐links within and between collagen fibers. CXL has been investigated extensively and has been shown clinically to arrest the progression of keratoconic or post‐LASIK ectasia.

Complications of Corneal Collagen Cross‐Linking
Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 Cross‐linking of corneal collagen (CXL) is a promising approach for the treatment of keratoconus and secondary ectasia. Several long‐term and short‐term complications of CXL have been studied and documented. The possibility of a secondary infection after the procedure exists because the patient is subjected to epithelial debridement and the application

Factors Governing Photodynamic Cross-Linking of Ocular Coat [PDF]
, 2011 This thesis addresses the challenge of minimizing toxicity of therapeutic protein-protein cross-linking of the cornea and sclera. Protein-protein cross-links include disulfide bonds, enzymatic cross-links and non-enzymatic cross-links.
