12 years of age or older
Signed written informed consent
Willingness and ability to comply with schedule for follow-up visits
Presence of central or inferior steepening
Axial topography consistent with keratoconus, post-surgical ectasia, or pellucidmarginal degeneration
Presence of one or more findings associated with keratoconus or pellucid marginaldegeneration, such as
Fleisher ring
Vogt's striae
Decentered corneal apex
Munson's sign
Rizzutti's sign
Apical corneal scarring consistent with Bowman's breaks
Scissoring of the retinoscopic reflex
Crab-claw appearance on topography
Steepest keratometry (Kmax) value greater than or equal to 47.2
I-S keratometry difference < 1.5 D on the Pentacam map or topography map
Posterior corneal elevation > 16 microns
Thinnest corneal point <485 microns
Predicted Post LASIK/PRK stromal ablation depth <350 microns or expected keratometry >47.2, or patients undergoing PRK/SMILE in keratoconus suspect eyes
Bacterial or fungal keratitis persistent and not responding despite > 2 weeks ofstandard antimicrobial therapy or with rapid progression of corneal thinning, withloss of >25% corneal thickness
Contact lens wearers only:
Removal of contact lenses for the require period of time prior to the screeningrefraction:
Contact Lens Type Discontinuations Time: Soft, 1 week; Soft Extended Wear, 2 weeks; Soft Toric, 3 weeks; Rigid Gas Permeable, 2 weeks per decade of wear -
Exclusion
Exclusion Criteria:
Eyes classified as normal or atypical normal on the severity grading scheme
Corneal pachymetry at the screening exam that is <300 microns at the the thinnestpoint in the eye(s) to be treated.
Previous ocular condition (other than refractive error) in the eye(s) to be treatedthat may predispose the eye for future complications, for example:
History of or active corneal disease (e.g. herpes simplex, herpes zosterkeratitis, recurrent erosion syndrome, acanthamoeba, etc.)
Clinically significant corneal scarring the CXL treatment zone that is notrelated to keratoconus or, in the investigator's opinion, will interfere withthe cross-linking procedure.
Pregnancy (including plan to become pregnant) or lactation during the course of thestudy
A known sensitivity to the study medications
Patients with nystagmus or any other condition that would prevent a steady gazeduring the CXL treatment of diagnostic tests.
Patients with a current condition that, in the physician's opinion, wold interferewith or prolong epithelial healing.
