Official title
Treatment of Keratoconus Using Collagen Cross-Linking By Means of Topical Riboflavin and UV Light.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of collagen cross-linking in the cornea in halting the progression and possibly partially reversing the effects of keratoconus. Keratoconus is a progressive weakening in the cornea that causes irregular astigmatism and thinning of the cornea. The overall effect is reduction of vision, and in more advanced cases, scarring of the cornea that may lead to the need for corneal transplantation. Cross-linking has been shown increase the rigidity of the cornea. The patients would be treated once and then followed over 24 months. .
