Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) is a photo-oxidative procedure, which enhances biomechanical stability of the cornea because of synthesis of well-structured collagen and new lamellar interconnections in the cornea.
This video aims to describe various preoperative and postoperative factors which can affect outcomes of corneal crosslinking.
We describe a nomogram to treat keratoconus and why it is important to control local and systemic allergy and inflammatory disorders to improve the ocular surface condition pre-operatively for achieving better outcomes of this procedure. The video also highlights how crosslinking has different outcomes in pediatric age group in comparison to adults. We discuss the results of the procedure in terms of corneal topography and describe the role of biomarkers influencing the outcome of corneal crosslinking.
