角膜胶原交联术(Corneal Collagen Crosslinking,CXL)简称角膜交联术,是由应用于工业、高分子合成材料以及生物工程的交联技术发展而来。1997年,Spoerl E等将交联技术用于圆锥角膜的治疗,并在大量实验的基础上创造了角膜交联术。角膜交联技术是使用370...

Riboflavin/Ultraviolet A (UVA) corneal collagen cross-linking appears to be the first treatment modality to halt the progression of keratoconus and other corneal ectatic disorders with improvement in visual, keratometric and topographic parameters documented by most investigators. Its precise mechanism of ...
Corneal collagen cross linking: traditional vs transepithelial results with histopathological analysisMotion aftereffectTranscranial magnetic stimulationSpatial attentionVisual awarenessNeural correlatePurpose To evaluate the effects of transepithelial corneal crosslinking (TE-CXL) on epithelium and stroma in human ...
Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is a novel technology that utilizes a combination of riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops to saturate the cornea and UV-A light which sets off a chemical reaction to shorten the cross links between and within collagen fibers thereby increasing the biomechanical ...
It’s called “cross-linking” because it adds bonds between the collagen fibers in your eye. They work like support beams to help the cornea stay stable. Corneal cross-linking is the only treatment that can stop progressive keratoconus from getting worse. And it may help you avoid a cornea...
To evaluate 6-year results of standardized epithelium-off corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) for treatment of progressive corneal ectasia. Design Prospective, consecutive, interventional case series. Methods Thirty-six eyes of 25 consecutive patients with documented progressive primary or iatrogenic cornea...
In their article, which was published in the September 2008 issue of the Journal of Refractive Surgery, Krueger et al detailed their use of an adapted version of Wol-lensak et al's corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) therapy to treat a patient with bullous keratopathy. Although the patient...
Background Corneal collagen cross-linking with riboflavin (Vitamin B2) and long-wave ultraviolet A (UV-A) is a surgical treatment for corneal ectasia. Cross-linking (also called C3-R, CXL, CCL, and KXL) is performed to make the cornea more rigid. The most common corneal ectasia is ...
The corneal cross-linking procedure strengthens and stabilizes the cornea by creating new links between collagen fibers within the cornea. The two-step procedure applies specialty formulated riboflavin (vitamin B) eye drops to the surface of the eye immediately followed by a controlled exposure of the...
