Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated long-term effects of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) on 131 patients with progressive keratoconus from 2006 to 2016, focusing on visual acuity and corneal measurements over time.
- Results showed that while corrected visual acuity improved, the effectiveness of CXL diminished after 5 years, with an increase in non-responders, particularly among patients with certain risk factors like young age and high astigmatism.
- The researchers concluded that CXL is effective in slowing keratoconus progression and suggested that patients displaying risk factors may need re-treatment after several years.
