Outcomes of Corneal Collagen Crosslinking Under General Anesthesia in Down Syndrome
Keratoconus was diagnosed at an advanced stage in most of the patients with Down syndrome in our cohort. Epithelium-off CXL under general anesthesia was well tolerated. Though follow-up was limited, our results suggest that CXL is feasible and effective in keratoconus associated with Down syndrome.
