Cross-Linking and Intracorneal Ring Segments—Review of the Literature
@article{AvniZauberman2014CrossLinkingAI, title={Cross-Linking and Intracorneal Ring Segments—Review of the Literature}, author={Noa Avni-Zauberman and David S. Rootman}, journal={Eye \& Contact Lens: Science \& Clinical Practice}, year={2014}, volume={40}, pages={365–370} }
Objectives: To review and summarize relevant studies on combined use of corneal crosslinking and intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) for the treatment of corneal ectasia. Methods: A literature search was performed using the key words “corneal collagen cross-linking” and “intra-corneal ring segments.” Results: Crosslinking is a well-accepted treatment option for corneal ectasia and can be combined with corneal ICRS insertion as needed. The advent of crosslinking has dramatically reduced the number…
