Abstract
Collagen crosslinking has an arresting effect on the progression of KC. A small regression occurring may be explained as an effect of the re-arrangement of corneal lamellae and the surrounding matrix. It is a minimal invasive technique that modifies corneal stromal structures and increases corneal stability.The standard Dresden protocol, as initially described by Wollensask et al. includes initial epithelial removal, the application of 0.1 % riboflavin solution for 20 minutes followed by 30 minutes of UVA irradiation with a wavelength of 370 nm and power of 3 mW/cm2 (5.4 J/cm2).
