BARCELONA, Spain — In this Healio Video Perspective, Emilio Torres-Netto, MD, PhD, shares his experience with selective treatment of astigmatism in radial keratotomy, or STARK, a new application of corneal cross-linking.
“With this form of cross-linking, we selectively apply the energy after a round of [phototherapeutic keratectomy] over the peripheral area of the cornea, and with the effect of the cross-linking, we are able to steepen the central cornea that usually after keratotomy is very flattened,” he said at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons
