Assessment of Corneal Crosslinking for the Treatment of Corneal Neovascularization With and Without Associated Infection

Investigational use of CXL can contribute to CNV regression in the following scenarios: postkeratoplasty corneal melting and suture cheese wiring, infectious keratitis, and combined with keratoplasty. However, it has limited, if any, benefit in treating CNV in situations where the stimulus for CNV is not eliminated, such as ongoing infection or chronic conditions such as limbal stem cell dysfunction.
