The Logic Behind Customized Corneal Crosslinking

Abstract

Customized CXL is a new innovative technique in corneal crosslinking, where only the pathologic region of the keratoconus cornea is treated and not the entire cornea as in standard CXL. Clinical advantages are a shorter epithelial healing time, a more frequent and stronger corneal flattening, and a better regularization of the cornea compared to standard CXL.
