Efficacy of Customized Corneal Cross-linking vs. Standard Corneal Cross-linking (C-CROSS)
The standard or Dresden protocol was established in 2003 and treats the entire cornea. However, recent ultra-structural research showed that keratoconus is localized. Therefore, treating only the affected zone and minimalizing the risk of damaging surrounding tissues would be beneficial. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the effectiveness of customized cross-linking (cCXL) is non-inferior to standard accelerated cross-linking (sCXL) in terms of flattening of the cornea and halting keratoconus progression.
