Corneal Cross-Linking is the primary and most effective treatment for halting the progression of keratoconus. The procedure aims to stabilize the current level of vision and limit its further deterioration.
During the procedure, the cornea is saturated with vitamin B2 (riboflavin) drops, then exposed to a carefully calibrated dose of ultraviolet (UV) light, which strengthens the bonds between collagen fibers within the cornea and increases its rigidity.
Jordan Eye Center offers this procedure for keratoconus patients in the early and moderate stages, aiming to preserve vision and delay or avoid the future need for a corneal transplant.
