Combined Collagen Crosslinking/Ultraviolet-A and PRK or LASIK in Forme Fruste Keratoconus or Eyes With Potentially Elevated Risk of Ectasia

Study:

Combined Collagen Crosslinking/Ultraviolet-A and Photorefractive Keratectomy or LASIK in Forme Fruste Keratoconus or Eyes With Potentially Elevated Risk of Ectasia

Rationale:

n/a

Purpose:

This study is being performed to evaluate the efficacy of ultraviolet-A (UVA)-induced cross-linking of corneal collagen (CXL) in strengthening and optimizing the biomechanical and biochemical stability of the cornea in patients with fruste keratoconus (FFKC), corneas that are suspicious for FFKC and corneas thought to be at higher risk of developing ectasia that will be undergoing laser vision correction.
