| ABSTRACT Purpose: To describe visual and refractive outcomes of conventional versus accelerated corneal cross linking in keratoconus. Methods: A prospective descriptive interventional case series. 20 eyes were evenly allocated into two groups. First group (20 eyes) was treated with conventional corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) and the second group was treated using was treated with accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL). Results: Both groups showed statistically improvement in BSCVA, which was insignificantly different between both groups over the follow-up period.oth groups with conventional and accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) showed statistically improvement in BSCVA, which was insignificantly different between both groups over the follow-up period.oth groups with conventional and accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) showed statistically improvement in BSCVA, which was insignificantly different between both groups over the follow-up period.oth groups with conventional and accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) showed statistically improvement in BSCVA, which was insignificantly different between both groups over the follow-up period. Conclusion: Both groups with conventional and accelerated corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) showed statistically improvement in BSCVA, which was insignificantly different between both groups over the follow-up period. | ||
