Crystalline keratopathy after corneal collagen crosslinking is not usually caused by the crosslinking reaction itself. It generally comes from one of two mechanisms: sterile drug precipitation or infectious crystalline keratopathy. In an epithelium-off CXL, the epithelial barrier is removed, the anterior stroma is exposed, and a bandage contact lens plus frequent drops are commonly used.… Continue reading Photo of the Week – Keratoconus and Corneal Crosslinking

Corneal neovascularisation refers to the growth of new blood vessels into the cornea. The cornea is normally clear and largely avascular, which is one of the reasons it can transmit light so effectively. When blood vessels… Continue reading Corneal Neovascularisation and Scleral Contact Lenses: Why Oxygen Matters
Scleral Contact Lens Fog
What happens over the day Immediately after insertion, the reservoir is mostly preservative-free filling solution mixed with some basal tears. During wear, several things occur: Does pH change? Probably yes, but direct human data measuring reservoir pH over time is limited. Mechanistically, the post-lens reservoir can drift more acidic because: So the concern is not… Continue reading Scleral Contact Lens Fog
