This book provides comprehensive coverage of corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL), a major management modality for keratoconus and ectatic corneal disorders. All aspects are covered, including refractive and non-refractive surgery indications, models of application, safety, efficacy, performance, outcome measures, evidence of CXL, complications, contraindications, use in children, and controversies. The discussion reflects the considerable progress that has been made in understanding of the modality since its development in the late 1990s. Detailed attention is paid to new concepts, changing surgical techniques and indications, the latest evidence-based science and research, and the future of CXL. Guidance is also provided on the use of CXL in combination with other modalities, such as LASIK, PRK, intracorneal ring implantation and others. The text is accompanied by numerous high-quality color illustrations. Corneal Collagen Cross Linking will provide the reader with a sound grasp of the technique and its use and will hopefully also serve as a stimulus to further research and advances.

The cornea serves as the gateway into the eye for external images. Maintenance of corneal shapes and transparency is critical for refraction. Small changes in the smoothness of the corneal surface or in the total thickness of the cornea can lead to visual distortion. Recently, however, refractive surgery for the transparent cornea has been introduced. In this procedure, the curvature of the cornea is modified either by cutting the stroma or by laser ablation of normal corneal tissue. Given the clinical efficacy of refractive surgery, it is important to understand the anatomical and physiological structure of the cornea such as corneal collagen cross-linking. Multiple commercial femtosecond lasers have been cleared for use by the US Food and Drug Administration for ophthalmic surgery, including use in creating corneal flaps in LASIK surgery. The newest application of femtosecond lasers in ophthalmology is in cataract surgery. In LASIK surgery, all surgery procedures are done in cornea. In cataract surgery, the cornea is also cut with a femtosecond laser. Over the last decade, the field of femtosecond eye surgery has expanded rapidly, supporting the advantages of combined high-ablation precision and minimized collateral tissue effects. One of the most promising applications for femtosecond laser eye surgery has been corneal surgery, namely laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery, where the high-pressure laser plasma non-thermally dissociates the dense corneal tissue, thereby enabling lamellar cornea procedures with minimized side effects with the subsequent excimer laser shaping the corneal surface. Millions of people worldwide have been patients for LASIK surgery and have benefited from new forms of technology. LASIK surgery includes three parts: wavefront detection, femtosecond laser flap creation, and excimer laser cornea correction. Some parts of this book focus on femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK surgery, including basic research for femtosecond laser eye surgery and tissue imaging. The newest application of femtosecond lasers in ophthalmology is cataract surgery. Currently, there are a few lasers at or near the point of commercial release, including LenSx (Alcon Laboratories Inc., Fort Worth, Texas), Catalys (Abbott Medical Optics, Santa Ana, California), LensAR (LensAR Inc., Orlando, Florida), Victus (Technolas Perfect Vision and Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, New York), and Femto LDV (Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems AG, Port, Switzerland). All laser systems share a common platformwhich includes an anterior-segment imaging system, patient interface, and femtosecond laser to imageto calculate and deliver the laser pulses. Some parts of this book explain the principle of OCT-guided femtosecond laser cataract surgery. The combination of femtosecond laser surgery and OCT imaging simultaneously guides the development of next generation femtosecond surgical lasers in cataract surgery and explores femtosecond laser surgical strategies.

Keratoconus is degeneration of the structure of the cornea. The cornea is the clear tissue covering the front of the eye. In keratoconus, the shape of the cornea slowly changes from round to conical (PubMed Health). In the early stages, keratoconus can be corrected with the use of lenses, but in the later stages, surgery is the only option. Holcomb C3-R® is a non-surgical technique that involves placing drops of the vitamin Riboflavin into the eye and using a UV light to activate them. The drops strengthen the fibres of the cornea and over time, preserve sight (American Keratoconus Association). This book is a concise guide to the technique of Holcomb C3-R® to treat keratoconus. Authored by the inventor of the procedure, Brian S Boxer Wachler, the text is based on his first hand clinical experience and explains the history and basic science of cross linking, the development and naming of the technique, its uses and complications, and first patient results. Key points Concise guide to technique of Holcomb C3-R® to treat keratoconus Authored by inventor of the technique and based on clinical experience Includes more than 60 full colour images and illustrations

This book presents new technologies which are available now for the rehabilitation of visual acuity in patients suffering from keratoconusand for arresting the progression of this frustrating disease. All these current treatment options in differing combinations aim to improve the quality of life of the patients and although successful, they are causing confusion for the ophthalmologists; what procedure to do and when? How to perform? Which combination of treatments to choose? Controversies in the Management of Keratoconusprovidesthe widely used treatment options for keratoconus including collagen corneal cross –linking (CXL) covering all the available techniques, intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) , phakic intra-ocular lenses (IOLs), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) combined or not with CXL penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty ( DALK). Each treatment is addressed by more than one author with different points of view in order to present the various approaches, the logic behind them and the most relevant clinical data available.A chapter by the editor tries to put some light on how to navigate among these controversies. This book will be of interest to trainees as well as the specialized ophthalmologists.
