The recruited patients were divided into 2 groups ie, Flavin Group and Peschke-D group by computer generated randomization. Postoperative examinations were conducted on 1 day, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after the crosslinking.Results: For both groups, the mean manifest spherical equivalent (SE), astigmatism, best corrected distance visual acuity, keratometry values, thinnest pachymetry values, demarcation line depth and endothelial cell density preoperatively and at postoperative 12 months were comparable with no statistically significant differences. At 12 months postoperatively, 62% of eyes in the Flavin group, and 68% of eyes in the Peschke-D group had postoperative manifest SE of within ± 1.00 D. During UV-A exposure, the cornea in the Flavin group showed intraoperative thinning of 112 microns (27%) as compared with a thinning of 108.12 microns (26.5%) observed in the Peschke group (p=1.67) from the initial pachymetry readings. No eye in either group had any immediate or long-term postop vision threatening complications such as infectious keratitis, corneal melt, non-resolving corneal oedema or endothelial decompensation.Conclusion: Both riboflavin solutions were equally safe and effective in the management of progressive keratoconus, and resulted in similar changes in terms of mean manifest spherical equivalent (SE), astigmatism, best corrected distance visual acuity, keratometry values, thinnest pachymetry values, demarcation line depth and endothelial cell density at the end of 12 months postoperatively.Trial Registration Number: Ctri/2019/11/021841 (Www.ctri.nic.in).Keywords: keratoconus, collagen cross linking, CXL, riboflavin, Flavin, PeschkeBrar SGanesh SReddy SSBN NShahanand DDove Medical Pressarticlekeratoconuscollagen cross linkingcxlriboflavinflavinpeschkeOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 2607-2617 (2021)
