Unusual ectasia following corneal cross-linking in a patient with keratoconus

This case underscores the need for ongoing vigilance in patient selection and follow-up in the context of CXL. The rare development of corneal ectasia post-CXL highlights a gap in our understanding of corneal biomechanics and the potential limitations of current diagnostic tools. More research is needed to refine patient screening methods and optimize treatment protocols to ensure the efficacy and safety of this widely used procedure.
