Simultaneous Topography-guided PRK Followed by Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking for Keratoconus

Abstract: Simultaneous PRK followed by CXL seems to be a promising treatment capable of offering functional vision in patients with keratoconus.

“…[11][12][13] The improvement in the biomechanical state of the cornea opens up new opportunities for visual rehabilitation in irregular astigmatism: customized photorefractive keratectomy may be used to regularize the corneal surface, combining a depthlimited surface ablation with a subsequent CXL either in the same procedure or sequentially (months to years after CXL). [14][15][16][17][18][19] The photopolymerization process that occurs during CXL follows the Lambert-Beer law of photophysics, which describes the gradual light energy absorption with depth. 19 Similarly, the riboflavin concentration in the stroma also decreases with depth.…”
