Main finding: Progression was stopped in all eyes treated with corneal collagen crosslinking. There was regression in maximal keratometry readings in 70% of eyes.
Purpose: To evaluate outcomes of corneal crosslinking in keratoconus
Study type: Prospective case series
Condition: Keratoconus
Participants: Keratoconus
n=23 eyes (22 patients)
Intervention:
-central epithelium off
-Riboflavin 0.1% soak
-Ultraviolet-A exposure at 3mW/cm2 for 30mins
Progression of keratoconus was stopped in all eyes.
There was regression in 70% of eyes.
Visual acuity improved slightly in 65% of eyes.
Corneal and lens transparency, endothelial cell density and intraocular pressure was unchanged.
