New Tel-Aviv protocol combines cross-linking with tissue-sparing laser ablation procedure

ATHENS, Greece — A new protocol for customized laser ablation combined with corneal collagen cross-linking provides good visual acuity improvement while halting keratoconus progression, according to a poster presented at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons Winter Meeting.
CXL is the gold standard for treating progressive keratoconus. However, the conventional CXL procedure has a limited effect on vision. Existing protocols that address this issue by combining CXL and refractive techniques, such as the Athens and Cretan protocols, have the disadvantage of leading to
