A new Die Ophthalmologie review explains ELZA-sub400 cross-linking, an individualised protocol that fits the UV dose to each cornea, making cross-linking possible in keratoconus corneas as thin as 214 µm.
ELZA researchers report 12-month outcomes for a second-generation sub400 cross-linking protocol that extends CXL to ultra-thin keratoconus and post-LASIK ectasia corneas below 400 micrometres, halting progression in 76% of eyes while shortening treatment to about 18 minutes.
A new ELZA review in Die Ophthalmologie examines the mechanisms, clinical evidence, protocol selection, and indications for PACK-CXL in infectious keratitis.
The Second Global Consensus on Keratoconus and Ectatic Diseases was published today, and ELZA played a key role in its development.
ELZA-affiliated researchers publish a JCRS study on ultra-high-fluence cross-linking for allogenic corneal ring segments.
ECO-CAIRS, developed at ELZA, uses ultra-high-fluence CXL to optimize donor corneal ring segments for keratoconus surgery. Now published in JRS.
Keratoconus affects not only the cornea but also the retina, choroid, and optic nerve head, as shown in a meta-analysis co-authored by Prof. Farhad Hafezi.
A new publication in JRS reports the long-term endothelial safety of the ELZA-sub400 protocol for treating progressive keratoconus in corneas thinner than 400 µm.
Transepithelial corneal cross-linking offers a new epi-on CXL protocol with biomechanical outcomes comparable to accelerated epi-off CXL for keratoconus treatment
