Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin and Ultraviolet - A Irradiation in the Management of Progressive Ectatic Corneal Disorders. Review Article
Abstract:Corneal crosslinking (CXL) has been proposed as a new modality to stop progression of keratoconus or secondary corneal ectasia, aiming to prevent progressive visual loss and to delay or avoid corneal transplantation. The possibility of strengthening corneal tissue by means of a photochemical reaction of corneal collagen by the combined action of riboflavin and ultraviolet-A irradiation (UVA), radically modified the conservative management of progressive corneal ectasia. This is a review of the state of the art… Show more
