Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is a unique corneal stromal laser ablation
method that uses an excimer laser to reach beneath corneal dome-shaped tissues. In …

Keratoconus is a progressive corneal thinning disorder that can lead to vision loss. In the
last 2 decades, corneal crosslinking (CXL) has emerged as an effective method to halt the …

PURPOSE: To report the incidence of ectasia after small incision lenticule extraction
(SMILE) in a high-volume refractive surgery center in India. METHODS: To derive the …

Since two decades, corneal crosslinking (CXL) has been proposed as the sole therapeutic
option to halt progression of keratoconus or other ectatic diseases. CXL aims at stiffening the …

Introduction Intrastromal lenticule implantation is a promising treatment option for corneal
pathologies, from refractive error to ectasia. In this narrative review, we intend to feature up …

Crosslinking involves the formation of bonds between polymer chains, such as proteins. In
biological tissues, these bonds tend to stiffen the tissue, making it more resistant to …

Simultaneous corneal cross-linking (CXL) has been proposed as an adjunct therapy to
corneal refractive procedures to prevent future ectasia, especially when performed in …

Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) with riboflavin is an accepted universal standard of
care for our keratoconus patients with progressive disease. It has been a game changer in …

Purpose The success of corneal collagen cross-linking in altering keratoconus' clinical
course has driven a search for further uses of this procedure. This literature review aims to …
