Evaluating the safety and efficacy of epi-off corneal cross-linking in patients with thin corneas due to keratectasia

Evaluating the safety and efficacy of epi-off corneal cross-linking in patients with thin corneas due to keratectasia

Background: Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is a safe and effective procedure for slowing keratectasia progression in eyes with a corneal thickness of at least 400 µm. Limited research has evaluated the safety and efficacy of epi-off CXL in corneas thinner than 400 µm. Objective: To evaluate the safety...
