| Popis: | Objective: To evaluate the results of corneal cross-linking with UV-A/riboflavin in patients with progressive keratoconus.Methods: Forty-seven eyes of 30 patients with progressive keratoconus (16 female, 14 male) were included in the study. Uncorrected and the best corrected distance visual acuities, biomicroscopic findings, intraocular pressure measurements, fundoscopic findings, pachymetric measurements and corneal topography parameters were recorded for each patient.Results: The mean age of the patients was 18.3±5.34 (range: 8-31) years and the mean follow-up duration was 7±2.4 (range: 3-12) months. Following the procedure, the mean decrease in K1, K2, Kav, spherical and cylindrical values were 0.77 D, 0.85 D, 0.80 D, 0.50 D and 0.74 D, respectively (p |
