Evaluating the efficacy and safety of iontophoresis-assisted corneal cross-linking compared to standard CXL in the treatment of keratoconus
S-CXL demonstrated superiority in improving corneal curvature at 6 and 12 months. Postoperative complications were minimal, with higher incidence of mild haze in the S-CXL group. Further studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are needed to confirm these results.
