Impact of Simultaneous TG-PRK on Corneal Haze After Cross-Linking for Keratoconus: A Quantitative Densitometry Analysis
Simultaneous TG-PRK and CXL result in more significant and prolonged corneal haze compared with CXL alone. Haze improves over time but persists longer in the combined procedure. Corneal densitometry is valuable for assessing haze and optimizing patient management.
