Treatment of Keratoconus With Advanced Corneal Crosslinking
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Corneal reshaping/crosslinking (CRXL) and Corneal Crosslinking (CXL) for Keratoconus. Completed, enrolled 120 participants.
Detailed 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.

Timeline
Interventions
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.
