Corneal Cross-Linking for Keratoconus and Post Laser Ectasia
by C. Garra MD, David Touboul MD, F. Malecaze MD, F. Malet Md, J Kerautet MD, N. Sire MD, P Fournier MD
The authors discuss the use of corneal collagen crosslinking linking (CXL) as a therapeutic treatment for keratoconus and post-excimer laser ectasia. It is believed that progression of keratoconus can be stabilized by using an ultra-violet laser to excite photosensitive riboflavin diffused in the cornea, subsequently stiffening and flattening the cornea.

excellent video, many thanks to the authors.
this is the first elaborate video on cross linking.excellent demonstration.the commentary calls the u v a source as laser, i am not sure if that is correct.
Congratulations to David Tobouland and collegues for such magnificent description of cross-linking My only suggestion should be to protect the limbus in order to avoid radiation to limbal steem cells, and to reduce the risk of limbal disfunction.
congratulation,this is so good video.
Great video and a fantastic graphical representation of the process. However I would strongly recommend someone with a medical background to do the commentary. It sounded very amateurish. Perhaps a media savvy medical student?
thanks a million for your video.
