REQUEST A CORNEAL CROSSLINKING CONSULTATION
How Does Corneal Crosslinking Work?
Consultation
First, we confirm the presence of keratoconus by performing a careful measurement of your refraction, mapping your corneas with a corneal topographer, and obtaining a thickness map.
These tests allow us to establish a baseline of your visual clarity, identify distortions of the cornea and detect corneal thinning.
Treatment
After numbing your eye, riboflavin eye drops are placed on the eye over a period of time to saturate the cornea.
Once enough riboflavin has penetrated the cornea, a UV light shines on the cornea for enough time to produce stronger bonds or”cross links” between the collagen fibers in the cornea.
Follow-Up
All follow up appointments after CXL are included in the cost of the procedure. Patients typically follow up 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months, and as needed after that.
Follow up visits may be performed by your referring doctor or in our office.
CXL can be repeated at no additional charge if further progression is detected.
