Abstract:
To investigate safety of accelerated corneal crosslinking during the first postoperative month.In this retrospective study, 76 eyes of 60 patients with verified progressive keratectasia were enrolled in this study and followed for 1 month after accelerated CXL (18 mW/cm for 5 min, radiant exposure 5.4 J/cm) (A-CXL(5*18)). Preoperatively, objective refraction, slit lamp inspection, and corneal tomography were performed. Early postoperative slit lamp examinations were performed on days 1 and 4. At...     »
