No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine whether mechanical compression of the cornea during corneal crosslinking for keratoconus using a sutured rigid contact lens can improve the optical outcomes of the treatment.

Conditions

  • Keratoconus

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Corneal reshaping/crosslinking (CRXL)

The keratoconus cornea is treated with epithelial debridement in local anesthesia, is soaked in Riboflavin by repeated topical application during 30 minutes. A flat, rigid contact lens is sutured to the cornea and the cornea and is then irradiated with ultraviolet light 5.4 J/cm2 during 30 minutes.
