Keratoconus is a bilateral and asymmetric disease which results in progressive thinning and
stee** of the cornea leading to irregular astigmatism and decreased visual acuity …

We discuss new approaches to the early detection of keratoconus and recent investigations
regarding the nature of its pathophysiology. We review the current evidence for its complex …

PURPOSE: To prove the long-term dampening effect of riboflavin-and ultraviolet-A-induced
collagen crosslinking on progressive keratoconus. SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology …

Keratoconus is the most common primary ectasia. It usually occurs in the second decade of
life and affects both genders and all ethnicities. The estimated prevalence in the general …

Keratoconus has been classically defined as a progressive, non-inflammatory condition,
which produces a thinning and steepening of the cornea. Its pathophysiological …

Keratoconus (KC) is a common degenerative condition that frequently results in visual loss
with an onset typically in early adulthood. It is the single most common reason for …

Many algorithms exist for the topographic/tomographic detection of corneas at risk for post-
refractive surgery ectasia. It is proposed that the reason for the difficulty in finding a universal …

The biomechanical and wound healing properties of the cornea undermine the predictability
and stability of refractive surgery and contribute to discrepancies between attempted and …

Purpose To evaluate the safety and efficacy of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) for the
treatment of progressive keratoconus. Design Prospective, randomized, multicenter …

PURPOSE: To investigate two new stiffness parameters and their relationships with the
dynamic corneal response (DCR) parameters and compare normal and keratoconic eyes …
