CXL-04 A Study of Collagen Crosslinking With Ultraviolet-A in Asymmetric Corneas
- Conditions
- Keratoconus
- Interventions
- Other: Theralight crosslinking and Riboflavin
- Registration Number
- NCT01956474
- Lead Sponsor
- Cxlusa
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ultraviolet-A (UVA)-induced cross-linking of corneal collagen (CXL) as a method to increase the biomechanical and biochemical stability of the cornea by inducing additional cross-links within or between collagen fibers using UVA light and the photo- mediator riboflavin.
- Detailed Description
This study will evaluate the results of Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL) in patients with conditions that include Keratoconus, Pellucid Marginal degeneration, Post-LASIK ectasia, and patients with radial keratotomy who experience fluctuation in their vision. This is an outcomes study, all patients receive treatment.
