Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keratoconus is characterized as bilateral progression of corneal thinning. It is associated with decreased visual acuity and steepened cornea. Conventional treatments for keratoconus include rigid gas permeable contact lenses, corneal intacts, and corneal transplants. Another treatment modality that targets the pathophysiology of the corneal degeneration is known as collagen cross-linking. Collagen cross-linking is a minimally invasive procedure that has been reported to improve visual acuity and stabilize the deteroration of the cornea through strengthening covalent bonds within the cornea. The aim of this study is to determine the efficiency of collagen cross-linking as a treatment for keratoconus.

Download or read book Corneal Collagen Cross Linking written by Mazen M. Sinjab and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides comprehensive coverage of corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL), a major management modality for keratoconus and ectatic corneal disorders. All aspects are covered, including refractive and non-refractive surgery indications, models of application, safety, efficacy, performance, outcome measures, evidence of CXL, complications, contraindications, use in children, and controversies. The discussion reflects the considerable progress that has been made in understanding of the modality since its development in the late 1990s. Detailed attention is paid to new concepts, changing surgical techniques and indications, the latest evidence-based science and research, and the future of CXL. Guidance is also provided on the use of CXL in combination with other modalities, such as LASIK, PRK, intracorneal ring implantation and others. The text is accompanied by numerous high-quality color illustrations. Corneal Collagen Cross Linking will provide the reader with a sound grasp of the technique and its use and will hopefully also serve as a stimulus to further research and advances.

Download or read book Treatment of Keratoconus written by Michael Litchfield and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keratoconus is characterized bya thinning of the corneal stroma due to non-inflammatory means, and results in conical morphology changes. Because keratoconus is a condition of the cornea -- one of the main refractive surfaces of the eye -- changes in its structure can influence visual acuity. Degradation of visual acuity is one of the main reasons why treating keratoconus is of prime importance. If the condition can be effectively treated, then vision can potentially be preserved. However not all treatments bring about equal results. Some are less invasive like rigid gas permeable contact lenses, which seek to optimize vision through optical means, while other more invasive means such as intrastromal ring segments, lamellar and penetrating keratoplasties seek to replace or change the existing corneal surface so visual acuity can be improved. With each comes a varying degree of efficacy and success. However, one of the most recent treatments, that of riboflavin-UVA collagen cross-linking, has been showing promising results, both in terms of its safety and efficacy. Collagen cross-linking treatment has been found to strengthen thinning corneas and stabilize the histopathological nature of keratoconus. As a result of treatment, both uncorrected and corrected visual acuity has been found consistently to significantly improve, and keratometry values were also found to decrease. These clinical results were seen in both abundant short-term studies, as well as in longer-term studies, which may subsequently allow for its FDA approval in the near future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keratoconus is the most prevalent corneal dystrophy, the same is known to affect and decrease the quality of life in 1/2000 individuals without gender preference. In 2006 new technology gave hope to keratoconus patients, when a procedure known as Corneal Collagen Cross Linking was approved in all 25 European Union Nations, and now the FDA in the United States finally approved it this April of 2016. Corneal collagen cross-linking is a developing non-invasive in-office treatment that has proven to delay keratoconus progression, preventing patients to undergo corneal transplant. While corneal collagen cross-linking has not stopped the progression of keratoconus studies reveal visual improvement, better keratometry readings, and more stable topographic findings in patients. The review of published literature on corneal cross-linking post-operative improvement in keratoconus patient supports the recommendation Corneal Cross-linking application for it's safety, comfort, efficacy, and the long term visual improvement.

Download or read book Corneal Collagen Crosslinking for Progressive Keratoconus in Pediatric Patients written by Joannie Irizarry Cortes and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the literature review is to examine the efficacy of corneal collagen crosslinking for progressive keratoconus in pediatric patients. Collagen crosslinking (CXL) is a technique that utilizes riboflavin and ultraviolet-A as an effective treatment option for progressive keratoconus in pediatric patients. Several articles have shown topographic results with statistically significant improvement in K readings and visual acuity on the patients. The procedure has proven to be safe on the pediatric population, even do there are studies conducted every day for improvement of it. CXL acts by reducing the mean refractive cylinder nd flatening the cornea, and appears effective in halting the progession of the disease. Ultimately, what is being study in the literature review is that crosslinking stabilizes the condition and, thus, reduces the need for corneal grafting in these young patients for a better and healthy vision.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corneal collagen cross-linking has been around for thousands of year. Only recently has it been studied more in depth as a way to control keratoconus. Up until recently, this has been the only treatment considered in collagen cross-linking. However, more recent studies have found many alternative treatment options for corneal collagen cross-linking. Currently, studies into benefits of collagen cross-linking range from treating thin corneas, and those with other form of ectasia, to treating edematous or bullous corneas. Studies for treatment options have also branched into ways of treating infectious keratitis, to even utilizing collagen cross-linking as a means of controlling low amounts of ametropia, as a stand-alone treatment, or used in conjunction with other refractive corneal surgeries. Currently, Collagen cross-linking is a standard of care in many international countries, however, in the United States, it has yet to pass through national acceptance and approval. The benefits of collagen cross-linking as a treatment option for a broad array of corneal conditions are becoming increasingly obvious.
