Visual outcomes and corneal biomechanical evaluation between LASIK and LASIK combined with accelerated corneal crosslinking
Both procedures demonstrate comparable outcomes in terms of visual acuity, refraction and ablation predictability. This study confirms that corneal biomechanical properties of the included patients weakened after both procedures, but the cornea after LASIK Xtra are stiffer than conventional LASIK.
