Tailored Stromal Expansion with Refractive Lenticule for Crosslinking an Ultrathin Cornea

Gitansha Sachdev, MD, FICO

Show Description +

Gitansha Sachdev, MD, FICO, describes the SACHDEV Technique for corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) in ultrathin corneas that are below the corneal thickness threshold considered safe for conventional CXL. This procedure increases the intraoperative corneal thickness of keratoconus patients by utilizing a donor refractive lenticule.
