Summary
This study tested a modified version of corneal collagen cross-linking, a procedure that strengthens the cornea to stop keratoconus from getting worse. The new approach uses a small air bubble to protect the cornea's inner layer, allowing treatment of patients with very thin corneas who were previously ineligible. 39 adults with progressive keratoconus and thin corneas were enrolled. The goal was to see if the procedure is both effective and safe for this group.
