Contact Lens-Assisted Collagen Cross-Linking (CACXL): A New Technique for Cross-Linking Thin Corneas

Abstract: CACXL technique was effective and safe in performing cross-linking in corneas less than 400 μm after epithelial abrasion and appeared effective based on stromal demarcation line depth.

“…15 Moreover, the efficacy of custom pachymetry-guided epithelial debridement is doubtful as it spares the thinnest area with the maximum need for CXL. Jacob et al 16 describe the use of a riboflavin-soaked bandage contact lens of negligible power to artificially increase the corneal thickness for CXL. Long-term results of this procedure are not available.…”

“…Intraoperative buckling of the contact lens might also create an uneven precorneal riboflavin film and consequently lead to hot or cold spots. 16 Small-incision lenticule extraction is a new refractive surgery that involves the extraction of a femtosecond laser-constructed corneal lenticule through a single small incision without raising a flap. 7 The lenticular thickness depends on the refractive error of the patient.…”

“…Однако все-таки возможен кросслинкинг при корне-альной толщине 250−350 мкм за счет искусственного предоперационного отека роговицы, увеличивающего ее толщину до 60 мкм, гипоосмолярным раствором ри-бофлавина [67]. Предложена также оригинальная ме-тодика кросслинкинга тонких роговиц (350−400 мкм) с использованием контактных линз, пропускающих УФ-излучение [68].…”
