Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1.10 years of age or older 2. Presence of central or inferior steepening 3. Axial topography consistent with keratoconus, post-surgical ectasia, or pellucid marginal degeneration 4. Presence of one or more findings associated with keratoconus or pellucid marginal degeneration, such as:
  • 1. Fleischer ring
  • 2. Vogt's striae
  • 3. Decentered corneal apex
  • 4. Munson's sign
  • 5. Apical Corneal scarring consistent with Bowman's breaks
  • 6. Scissoring of the retinoscopic reflex
  • 7. Crab-claw appearance on topography 5. Steepest keratometry (Kmax) value ≥ 47.20 D 6. I-S keratometry difference \> 1.5 D on the Pentacam map or topography map 7. Posterior corneal elevation \>16 microns 8. Thinnest corneal point \>300 microns 9. Contact Lens Wearers Only:
  • 1. Eyes classified as either normal or atypical normal on the severity grading scheme.
  • 2. Corneal pachymetry at the screening exam that is \<300 microns at the thinnest point in the eye(s) to be treated.
  • 3. Previous ocular condition (other than refractive error) in the eye(s) to be treated that may predispose the eye for future complications, for example:
  • 1. History of or active corneal disease (e.g., herpes simplex, herpes zoster keratitis, recurrent erosion syndrome, acanthomeoeba, etc.)
  • 2. Clinically significant corneal scarring in the CXL treatment zone that is not related to keratoconus or, in the investigator's opinion, will interfere with the cross-linking procedure.
  • 4. Pregnancy (including plan to become pregnant) or lactation during the course of the study
  • 5. A known sensitivity to study medications
  • 6. Patients with nystagmus or any other condition that would prevent a steady gaze during the CXL treatment or other diagnostic tests.
  • 7. Patients with a current condition that, in the physician's opinion, would interfere with or prolong epithelial healing.
