What is Collagen Cross Linking?

Corneal collagen cross-linking is a technique which uses UV light and a photosensitizer to strengthen chemical bonds in the cornea. The goal of the treatment is to halt progressive and irregular changes in corneal shape known as ectasia. These ectatic changes are typically marked by corneal thinning and an increase in the anterior and/or posterior curvatures of the cornea, and often lead to high levels of myopia and astigmatism. The most common form of ectasia is keratoconus and less often ectasia is seen after laser vision correction such as LASIK.

The primary purpose of crosslinking is to halt the progression of ectasia. Likewise, the best candidate for this therapy is an individual with a progressive ectatic disease of the cornea. The most common indication is keratoconus.

Corneal cross-linking is a treatment for an eye problem called Keratoconus.

What is Keratoconus?

In corneal cross-linking, doctors use special eye drops and ultraviolet A (UVA) light to make the tissues in your cornea stronger. That stops the bulge from getting worse.

It’s called “cross-linking” because it adds special bonds between the collagen fibers in your eye. They work like support beams to help the cornea stay stable.
