Topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy combined with accelerated corneal collagen cross-linking versus cross-linking alone for progressive keratoconus: a long-term prospective cohort study
Compared with ACXL alone, combined TG-PRK with ACXL procedure had a significantly higher reduction in the corneal HOAs and better CDVA, while providing a similar long-term stability and safety. For progressive keratoconus patients with adequate corneal thickness, the combined procedure might be a recommended treatment option.
