3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
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.
This study will assess changes in visual acuity and corneal symmetry after corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) of asymmetric corneas.
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.
