New no-scrape eye treatment may match standard therapy for cone-shaped cornea

Summary
This study tested two ways to treat keratoconus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape. One method removes the cornea's top layer before applying UV light (standard accelerated cross-linking), while the other leaves the layer intact and customizes the light pattern (CuRV). 135 adults with progressive keratoconus took part. The goal was to see if the gentler, no-scrape method could stabilize the cornea and improve vision just as well as the standard approach over 24 months.
