Rev. bras. oftalmol; 83 (), 2024
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of repeated corneal cross-linking in eyes of children and adolescents with progressive keratoconus. Methods: This retrospective study included nine eyes of nine consecutive patients with progressive keratoconus who underwent repeated cor...

Use of gabapentin in management of postoperative pain after crosslinking

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 80 (3), 2021
ABSTRACT Objective: The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of gabapentin in the management of neuropathic pain in patients with keratoconus, who were treated with fast (10 minutes) epi-off corneal crosslinking (CXL). Methods: This was a prospective, double-blind, randomized study. The sample compri...

Accelerated corneal cross-linking with hypo-osmolar riboflavin in thin keratoconic corneas: 2-year follow-up

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 83 (4), 2020
ABSTRACT Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the outcomes of accelerated corneal cross-linking in keratoconic corneas with thinnest pachymetry values of <400 µm. Methods: The study included 28 eyes of 24 patients. The uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuities (logMAR), flattest and s...
