January 2020
Department of Medicine and Health Science "V. Tiberio, " Università del Molise, Campobasso, Italy.
Purpose: To evaluate custom fast cross-linking (cfCXL) treatment of keratoconus.
Methods: "Custom fast cross-linking" or "cfCXL" is a keratoconus treatment algorithm featuring no epithelial disruption, 15 minutes of corneal presoaking with a riboflavin-vitamin E TPGS solution, and a 370-nm ultraviolet A radiation beam centered on the most highly curved corneal region. Ultraviolet A radiation beam fluence, total energy, and exposure time are significantly less than those in the Dresden protocol.

Purpose: To improve the safety, reproducibility, and depth of effect of corneal cross-linking with the ultraviolet A (UV-A) exposure time and fluence customized according to the corneal thickness.
Methods: Twelve human corneas were used for the experimental protocol. They were soaked using a transepithelial (EPI-ON) technique using riboflavin with the permeation enhancer vitamin E-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate.
