Corneal Collagen Cross-linking

Corneal Collagen Cross-linking (CXL) is a medical procedure used to strengthen the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, especially in conditions like keratoconus. During the treatment, specific vitamin drops are applied to the cornea, followed by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. This process bonds the collagen fibers in the cornea, making it more stable and less prone to bulging or distortion. CXL can help improve vision and may prevent further deterioration of the cornea, offering a non-invasive solution to certain eye problems.
