Summary
This study is being performed to evaluate the efficacy of ultraviolet-A (UVA)-induced
cross-linking of corneal collagen (CXL) in strengthening and optimizing the biomechanical and
biochemical stability of the cornea in patients with fruste keratoconus (FFKC), corneas that
are suspicious for FFKC and corneas thought to be at higher risk of developing ectasia that
will be undergoing laser vision correction.
