Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (CXL)

Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) may be considered when there is objective progression or increased risk of keratoconus, and corneal topography/refraction indicates continuous deepening. The decision is influenced by factors such as corneal thickness and safety margins, corneal inflammation/dry eye, previous lens tolerance and age, general condition, and whether a combined protocol is needed, and is determined by a comprehensive specialist assessment.
