A Transepithelial Corneal Cross-linking (CXL) Protocol Providing the Same Biomechanical Strengthening as Accelerated Epithelium-off CXL
This new epi-on CXL protocol provides a stiffening effect similar to the most used accelerated epi-off CXL and has the potential to clinically replace the latter, turning CXL into a real office-based procedure without the need for a sterile environment. <b>[<i>J Refract Surg</i>. 2025;41(7):e724-e730.]</b>.
