Study Overview

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness and safety of Topo-Pachymetric Customized Accelerated Epithelium-On (aCFXL) to Standard Accelerated Epithelium-Off (aCXL) Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking in the management of keratoconus. The study aims to evaluate visual and structural outcomes, to provide valuable insights into optimizing treatment strategies.
