Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate corneal stiffening after epithelium-off accelerated corneal cross-linking (CXL; 9 mW/cm²) in progressive keratoconus (KC) with different methods of epithelial debridement.
Methods: This was a retrospective, interventional, and non-randomized study. In group 1, the epithelium was removed using a hockey knife (N = 45).

Purpose: To report outcomes in patients with progressive keratoconus who underwent a standardized protocol of transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy (t-PTK) laser followed by accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL).
Methods: All patients with progressive keratoconus undergoing our protocol at a London clinic between 2019 and 2023 were included. The protocol involved t-PTK at 58-μm central ablation depth at a 9-mm treatment zone on the Schwind Amaris 1050RS platform.

BACKGROUND The split-mouth study design is used in oral health research and usually consists of 2 treatments randomly assigned to either the right or left side. This split-mouth study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of photobiomodulation on reversal of local anesthesia in 50 children aged 8-10 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was conducted among 50 children: 27 girls and 23 boys, aged 8-10 years (mean age 9.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of high-fluence accelerated corneal cross-linking on the resistance to enzymatic digestion, assessing two chromophore/light combinations: riboflavin/UV-A light (RF/UV-A) and rose bengal/green light (RB/green).
Methods: Freshly prepared ex-vivo porcine corneas (n = 189) were divided into 8 groups groups. Group A corneas were unirradiated controls without chromophore soaking (A0), or soaked with riboflavin (A1) or rose bengal (A2).
