Corneal Haze Secondary to Corneal Collagen Cross-linking in Keratoconus Patients: Treatment and Outcomes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of patients presenting with mild-to-moderate corneal haze after undergoing corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus (KCN) and their response to a proposed standardized topical steroid-based treatment.

Methods: This study included 19 eyes of 14 patients presenting with corneal haze after undergoing CXL for KCN. Corrected distance visual acuity, corneal thickness and Kmax values by Pentacam Scheimpflug tomography, as well as subjective corneal haze changes were evaluated before and after a topical steroid- and cyclosporine-based treatment.
