Abstract
#Keratoconusis a progressive eye disease, whichdiscloses in adolescence
and usuallystabilizes in thefourthorfifthdecadeoflife.
Theprogressivethinningofcorneal
stroma in which the cornea has a conical shapeleads to high irregular a
stigmatism and consequently to a significant #visualacuity decrease.
Anymethod to cure the diseasehas been developed up to thisday. Corneal
collagen cross-linking (CXL) is the first treatment
that halts the progression of keratoconus. Cross-linkingconducted in the
early stages of keratoconus allows to stop corneal changes during early
grade, easier to #opticalcorrection. From the times of “Dresden Protocol”
until now, multiple variations of the standard procedure technique
have been introduced and consistent improvement is still being searched
for.Not #onlydoesthe study present the classical method of CXL,
acceleratedand
#transepithelial CXL modifications, but
the latest research about their effectiveness as well.
