Corneal cross-linking (CXL) with riboflavin (vitamin B 2) and UV-A light is a surgical treatment for corneal ectasia such as keratoconus, [2] PMD, and post-LASIK ectasia. It is used in an attempt to make the cornea stronger. According to a 2015 Cochrane review, there is insufficient evidence to determine if it is useful in keratoconus. [3]
Conductive keratoplasty (CK) is a type of refractive surgery that uses radio waves to adjust the contour of the cornea by shrinking the corneal collagen around it. [1] It is used to treat mild to moderate hyperopia. It is a non-invasive alternative to other types of eye surgery.
Treatment options include contact lenses, [7] [8] intrastromal corneal ring segments, custom topography-guided transepithelial PRK combined with corneal collagen cross-linking, [9] or corneal transplant. When cross-linking is performed only after the cornea becomes distorted, vision remains blurry even though the disease is stabilised.
Pellucid marginal degeneration is diagnosed by corneal topography. Corneal pachymetry may be useful in confirming the diagnosis. Treatment usually consists of vision correction with eyeglasses or contact lenses. Intacs implants, corneal collagen cross-linking, and corneal transplant surgery are additional options.
Once again, coach Greg McDermott has knocked off the top-ranked team in the country. His Creighton team rolled over No. 1 Kansas 76-63 on Wednesday night at the CHI Health Center in Omaha in the ...
The Alphacor is then inserted into the corneal pocket to allow for bio-integration after several months, a second procedure is used to remove part of the anterior cornea to allow light to reach the retina. In the case of the KeraKlear, the intralamellar pocket is created with a femtosecond laser or a corneal pocket making microkeratome.
