Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether corneal collagen crosslinking is effective in the treatment of progressive keratoconus.
Detailed Description:
Keratoconus is a noninflammatory, asymmetrical, progressive corneal ectasia caused by biomechanical instability of the corneal stroma. Treatment modalities are primarily glasses or contact lenses. It has been estimated that one out of five patients will progress to such an extent that a corneal transplant is necessary to regain useful vision.
Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) is a treatment modality that intends to halt progression of keratoconus. This study investigates the efficacy av CXL in stabilizing the cornea in keratoconus by means of a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Participants are eligible for inclusion if progressive keratoconus is confirmed and the inclusion criteria are met. Follow-up after inclusion is at 1 week (treatment group), 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Pre- and post-inclusion examinations include measurement of uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA), best spectacle corrected distance visual acuity (BSCDVA), Scheimpflug-topography and slitlamp examination.
