PURPOSE: To compare standard epithelium-off corneal cross-linking (standard Epi-Off CXL) to corneal cross-linking with an epithelial flap (Epi-Flap CXL). METHODS: Patients who had undergone sequential bilateral CXL for progressive keratoconus were included in this comparative interventional case series. One eye was treated with the Epi-Off CXL...

Purpose: To investigate the effect of Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology tonometry (CST) on intraocular pressure (IOP). Design: Cohort study. Participants: Patients with and without primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) were included. Methods: Intraocular pressure was measured using the Icare rebound tonometer (ICRT; Icare Finland...

Purpose: To describe a new technique to deliver riboflavin into the corneal stroma during Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) without the removal of corneal epithelium. Methods: Keratoconus patients underwent CXL for progressive keratoconus. Riboflavin was delivered by manually creating an epithelial pocket (CXL Epi-Pocket). Verbal rating scale was...
