Customised corneal crosslinking with supplemental oxygen
In this prospective interventional case series, the authors investigate using supplemental oxygen delivery during epithelium-on corneal crosslinking (CXL) with specially designed oxygen delivery goggles. Twenty-seven eyes of 24 patients underwent epi-on CXL with Riboflavin and Ultraviolet-A irradiation. At six months...
Effect of long-term RGP-CL wear on keratoconus progression
This is a retrospective study between April and December 2017, of 22 rigid gas-permeable contact lens (RGP-CL) patients (31 eyes) and 15 non-CL patients (20 eyes) who fulfilled the criteria of: 1) >3 years follow-up and 2) Scheimpflug-based corneal imaging...
Outcomes for IRS implantation for keratoconus
The authors report visual and topographic outcomes of intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation alone or in combination with corneal cross linking (CXL) and long-term results in halting keratoconus in paediatric patients. This study was a retrospective design including 19 patients...

Accelerated (9mW/cm2) corneal collagen cross-linking for keratoconus
This is one of many studies published / to be published on corneal collagen cross-linking that has a treatment time of 10 minutes compared to the previous Dresden protocol of 30 minutes to halt progression of keratoconus. Much has changed...Dry eye disease treatments come to the fore at 100%
