Corneal collagen crosslinking
SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions says the company is the first and only manufacturer of excimer laser systems to offer the integrated SCHWIND CXL-365 vario system for corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL). 'CXL using ultraviolet A (UVA) light and riboflavin (vitamin B2) was introduced as a clinical application to stabilise the cornea by inducing crosslinks within and between collagen fibres. CXL has been investigated extensively and has been shown clinically not only to arrest the progression of keratoconic or post-LASIK ectasia but also to exert a moderately positive effect on visual status,' said a company spokeswoman.
