CXL UNBOUND

Discover the future of cross-linking

Revolutionize your practice with the C-Eye device — the most innovative, versatile. portable and cost-effective CXL technology available. Perform classic CXL in the laying position, modern CXL at the slit lamp, or CXL under the excimer laser, all with the same device.

UNLOCK THE C-EYE DEVICE

New

Use the C-eye technology with the riboflavin of your choice. The C-eye now is available in a locked and unlocked version.

The unlocked version lets you use any type of riboflavin.*

Uncertain which version to choose? You can always start with the locked device and unlock it at a later stage.

Check out the pros and cons here.

* please note: the use of non CE-marked riboflavin in countries of the European Community is illegal.

Advantages

The New Standard in Corneal Cross-Linling

Innovative

EMAGine’s C-eye device has speerheaded innovation in corneal cross-linking since its inception in 2020.

Versatile

Bring CXL to the most remote areas with the C-eye device, Ribo-Ker, and a slit lamp. Use the same device for high-tech customized CXL under the excimer laser.

Portable

Work in different places? Take the C-eye device wherever you go. No operating room available? Any modern slit lamp and a reclining chair will do.

Economical

Reduce time and costs related to CXL, perform epi-on CXL at the slit lamp in any procedure room.

Pulsed & Continuous Light

To cover all modern CXL protocols

Thickness-adjusted Profile

Beam profile delivers more energy in the corneal periphery

Wheelchair Accessible

Conveniently treat wheelchair users.

Slit Lamp Mount

For modern CXL: fits on most slit lamps.

Table Mount

For classic CXL: table mount accessory available.

Integrated Protocols

Choose from a number of preset clinical protocols.

Range of Intensities

Testimonials

Ophthalmologists on the C-Eye Device

Prof. Boris Knyazer

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel

The C-eye device is effective in many ocular conditions as keratoconus, iatrogenic ectasia, infectious keratitis and others. The device [represents an] elegant and very useful technology.

Prof. Paolo Vinciguerra

Humanitas University Milano, Italy

The C-eye device is the only device that allows the surgeon to view through the system, so that we have full control of the cornea of the patient during the treatment.

Prof. Shady Awwad

American University of Beirut

The C-eye is truly a disruptive and innovative device that opens new avenues in therapeutic refractive surgery, as well as in the treatment of Keratoconus and keratitis. I’m incredibly excited about all these possibilities.

Prof. Cosimo Mazzotta

University of Siena, Italy

It’s a beautiful device. It’s portable, it’s light, it’s easy to use customizable and provide a wide range of intensities, so you can do the custom cross-linking, any way, perfect….we have the opportunity to use the slit lamp technology in outpatients without the use of an operating theater performing epi-on [CXL] techniques.

Prof. Robert Wisse

The Netherlands

The device is a bliss. I love every aspect of it. Well designed, robust, practical.

Prof. Frederik Raiskup

University Eye Hospital Dresden, Germany

…what’s great is that you can completely control the whole treatment.  …you diagnose … a suspected infectious keratitis, you do the scraping, and you can immediately treat them in one session

Frequent Questions

Can I Perform CXL at the Slit Lamp?

What about the infection risk?

Use a minor procedure room and remember that every CXL procedure not only enhances biomechanics, but also “sterilizes” the cornea by killing microorganisms. Plus, millions of office-based intravitreal injections have shown no increased infection risk.

Isn’t treatment time too long for the slit lamp?

Irradiation time is not too long. Current modern protocols are integrated in the C-eye device and treat in as little as 10 minutes (CXL) and 4 minutes (PACK-CXL).

Does CXL work in the sitting position?

We need 3 elements for successful cross-linking: UV light, oxygen and riboflavin. Both UV light and oxygen do not “care” whether the patient is laying down or sitting. As for riboflavin, published research shows that riboflavin concentration is stable in the upright position for up to 60 minutes - much longer than we need for a CXL treatment.

Is the patient comfortable?

Offer the patient the comfortable surgeon’s chair with an armrest, and take the time to ensure they are well-adjusted. This ensures maximum comfort for the patient.

What about the patient's fixation?

Fixation is simple. Use the fixation target on most slit lamps (for retinal exams), and the patient will maintain a steady gaze, as shown here.

Still not convinced?

See slit lamp CXL step-by-step here or simply use the C-eye for classic CXL in the laying position.
