Purpose: To assess the current Corneal Cross Linking techniques and their safety profile.
Methods: Collagen cross-linking (CXL) is a well-established procedure for halting keratoconus progression. Riboflavin instillation is followed by Utraviolet-A (UV-A) irradiation in all currently used protocols. Epithelium on and epithelium off techniques are currently used in clinical practice, including accelerated techniques using various amounts of irradiation. Certain complications have been reported following each technique.
Conclusion: The variety of CXL protocols, provide the clinicians the ability to follow an individualized approach to each patient. Early and late complications should be addressed promptly.
