Cross-Linking Surgery
What is Corneal Cross-Linking?
Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that halts the progression of keratoconus by strengthening the cornea using UV light and riboflavin butyrate.
・Stabilizes the cornea・Prevents further vision deterioration
・Often avoids the need for corneal transplant
(About 99% of corneal transplants are due to keratoconus)
・90% success rate in stopping keratoconus progression
Is Cross-Linking Right for You?

Treatment Process
Step 1: Pre-treatment Screening
Corneal topography and corneal thickness measurement.
Step 2: On the Day of Treatment

→
Apply UV light for 6 minutes
→
Place soft contact lens on the eye to complete the procedure
