Popis:	Corneal cross-linking has proven safety and efficacy in arresting the progression of keratoconus. Its use has been extended to resolution of corneal edema. We present a case report and review of literature on the treatment of corneal edema using corneal cross-linking. Corneal cross-linking seems to be an effective method in reducing corneal edema at least as a temporary measure till definitive solution, such as penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) or Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DASEK) is preformed.
