Crosslinking of Thin Corneas: a Modern Vision of the Problem. Literature Review

Ultraviolet crosslinking is a pathogenetically oriented method of treating primary and secondary corneal ectasias that cause irregular astigmatism and visual impairment. Advanced stage of the disease, when the initial thickness of the cornea is below 400 mc, is a contraindication to the use of the s...

Advanced stage of the disease, when the initial thickness of the cornea is below 400 mc, is a contraindication to the use of the standard «Dresden» protocol of the procedure. In such cases, it is possible to use modified UV crosslinking protocols. This article presents the modern crosslinking methods used for progressive keratoconus in advanced stages with a thin cornea. The presented methods are combined taking into account principled approaches – using additional tools and without them. Both approaches are based on a temporary artificial increase in the thickness of the cornea during the procedure in order to reduce the likelihood of damage to the deep layers of the cornea. The evolution of crosslinking protocols for thin corneas began with the use of hypoosmolar solutions that increase the thickness of the cornea to safe values.
