Corneal Collagen Crosslinking
(CXL)
Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL) is a safe and highly effective treatment for keratoconus and other forms of corneal thinning. Over time, conditions like keratoconus cause the cornea to weaken and bulge outward, leading to blurred or distorted vision.
Corneal collagen crosslinking is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a combination of riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops and ultraviolet-A light to strengthen the cornea.
Crosslinking improves the corneal shape, stops disease progression and stabilises vision. It is performed as an in-rooms procedure under eye drop anaesthesia and takes about 40 minutes to complete. It significantly reduces the need for a corneal transplant in the future.
