Topical rosiglitazone is an effective anti-scarring agent in the cornea [PDF]
, 2013 Corneal scarring remains a major cause of blindness world-wide, with limited treatment options, all of which have side-effects. Here, we tested the hypothesis that topical application of Rosiglitazone, a Thiazolidinedione and ligand of peroxisome ...

Combined corneal CXL and photorefractive keratectomy for treatment of keratoconus: a review.
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2019 Keratoconus and iatrogenic keratectasia are the corneal ectatic disorders occurring due to biomechanical weakening of the cornea resulting in distorted images, myopia, and irregular astigmatism. Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is performed to arrest
