Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Determine safety of CXL on corneal endothelial count by using specular microscopy in patients with keratoconus
by using specular microscopy to assess endothelial count to prevent corneal damages
6 months
Interventions
Specular microscopy is a noninvasive photographic technique that analyze the corneal endothelium. Using computer-assisted morphometry, modern specular microscopes analyze the size, shape and population of the endothelial cells. The instrument projects light onto the cornea and captures the image that is reflected from the optical interface between the corneal endothelium and the aqueous humor. The reflected image is analyzed by the instrument and displayed as a specular photomicrograph
Eligibility Criteria
People have keratoconus from 10 years to 75 years has corneal thickness more than 400 um at the thinnest location of the cornea with exclusion criteria like prior herpetic infection or autoimmune disease or corneal opacity
You may qualify if:
- Patients with corneal diseases that treated by collagen cross linking such as keratokonus and post lasic ectesia with corneal thickness above 400um at its thinnest location.
You may not qualify if:
- Prior herpetic infection
- Autoimmune disorders
- corneal thickness below 400um at its thinnest location
- Corneal opacity
