Corneal Cross-Linking Treatment
Overview
Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is a groundbreaking treatment that strengthens the cornea, the clear front part of your eye. At AKUH, we offer advanced CXL procedures to halt the progression of corneal diseases and improve your vision. This safe and effective treatment uses ultraviolet light and riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops to create new bonds within the cornea, increasing its strength and stability.

CXL is primarily used to treat conditions that weaken the cornea, such as:
Keratoconus: This progressive condition causes the cornea to thin and bulge outward into a cone shape, leading to distorted vision.
Post-LASIK ectasia: In rare cases, LASIK surgery can weaken the cornea, causing it to bulge. CXL can help stabilise the cornea and prevent further vision deterioration.
Corneal ulcers: CXL can be used in some cases to strengthen the cornea and prevent the spread of infection.
