Are different diagnostic instruments interchangeable when it comes measure corneal HOAs in eyes with keratoconus?

Why do stars sometimes “twinkle” in the sky? Atmospheric turbulence: the light that comes from the star gets distorted by particles in the atmosphere. It is the same with light entering the eye

Can Cross-Linking (CXL) treat Terrien’s Marginal Degeneration (TMD)?

Terrien’s Marginal Degeneration (TMD) is a progressive thinning of the cornea at its edges, next to the sclera (the white part of the eye). Can corneal cross-linking (CXL) treat TMD like it can treat other corneal thinning disorders like keratoconus? To find out, click on the link to read more!

Cross-Linking in the USA – Part 4: The Future

What is the future of corneal cross-linking (CXL)? PACK-CXL to treat corneal infections without antibiotics, refractive cross-linking and better Kpros…

Cross-Linking in the USA – Part 2: Best Practice

The Cornea Society published a best practice review of CXL in the USA. Cross-linking is relatively new to the USA (but not Europe) – let’s get up to speed.

Cross-Linking in the USA – Part 1: Patient and Riboflavin Selection

The Cornea Society published a best practice review of CXL in the USA. Cross-linking is relatively new to the USA (but not Europe) – let’s get up to speed.

Fixing your SMILE: how do you reoperate, and what are the consequences for corneal strength?

Other vision healthcare professionals regularly refer patients to ELZA who have “challenging corneas”; many are those whose original laser refractive surgery didn’t quite go to plan, and they need re-treatment to fix their vision

Children: to cross-link or not to cross-link?

Children: to cross-link or not to cross-link? If a person is going to develop keratoconus, that person is more likely to be a child than an adult.

SmILE biomechanically more solid than flap-based laser surgery

SmILE more solid than flap-based refractive laser surgery: this recently published research, spearheaded by Walter Sekundo from Germany, shows for the first time that SmILE indeed is biomechanically more solid than flap-based refractive laser surgery approaches

A new algorithm to predict the Cross-Linking effect

Algorithm predicts CXL effect: in this scientific article, we published a new algorithm that combines the knowledge we accumulated over the past 12 years

Another step towards cross-linking at the slit lamp

We are currently developing the technique of slit lamp cross-linking, one crucial step will be to determine whether riboflavin, once applied onto the cornea, remains at saturation levels during a CXL procedure
