Collagen Cross-Linking With Ultraviolet-A in Asymmetric Corneas

December 15, 2021 updated by: Cxlusa
This study will assess changes in visual acuity and corneal symmetry after corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) of asymmetric corneas.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the results of Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL) in patients with conditions that include keratoconus, forme fruste keratoconus, post-LASIK ectasia, pellucid marginal degeneration, forme fruste pellucid marginal degeneration, diurnal fluctuation post-radial keratotomy, or Terrien's marginal degeneration. This is an outcomes study, all patients receive treatment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA)
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 and 12 months
Changes in CDVA are reported as the value at 6 and 12 months minus the value at baseline
Baseline and 6 and 12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Uncorrected Distance Visual Acuity (UCVA)
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 and 12 months
Changes in UCVA are reported as the value at 6 and 12 months minus the value at baseline
Baseline and 6 and 12 months
Change From Baseline in Maximum Keratometry (KMax)
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 and 12 months
Kmax is the maximum value of corneal curvature in Diopters. Changes in Kmax are reported as the value at 6 and 12 months minus the value at baseline.
Baseline and 6 and 12 months
