Cornea Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin
Keratoconus surgeons have a dictum - "If you see a child with Keratoconus eye disease, do epithelial off cross linking with Riboflavin right away.'
Age 21 to 45 years
CXL or C3R
The first step of corneal cross linking is to strengthen the cornea and halt the progression of further bulging of the cornea. In advanced cases, rapid intervention is essential. In early to moderate cases, the progression may be documented before doing this procedure. CXL can also be combined with Intacs in a single sitting, but this is usually only done for the patients who come from far distances.
Age above 45 years
A permanent procedure
PIE, or presbyopic implant in the eye, can correct any error of refraction, including astigmatism. A Symfony IOL, or a Trulign IOL implant (this is more commonly used) is positioned accurately to yield an optimum, glasses free result.
