Description
Lisa Ramm and five co-authors compared two versions of a cornea-stiffening treatment for a worsening eye disease, over eight years, in this 2025 study. The disease, keratoconus, thins and bulges the cornea. Crosslinking treatment can halt it, and a faster version promises the same result in less time under the light.
The team followed sixty-one eyes, sixteen treated the standard way and forty-five the fast way. Both groups showed flatter corneas at three and eight years, and the disease stopped advancing in both. Cornea thickness dipped early, then steadied, and complication rates were alike. Only the standard group showed a slight gain in vision at eight years, which the authors treat with caution. Overall, the fast method held up as well as the standard one.
