Summary
This study tests whether a procedure called corneal collagen crosslinking can stop keratoconus from getting worse. Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) becomes thin and bulges into a cone shape, causing blurry vision. The treatment uses special eye drops and ultraviolet light to strengthen the cornea. The study involves 36 adults with progressive keratoconus and measures changes in corneal curvature over 12 months.
