FIRST AND ONLY FDA-APPROVED THERAPEUTIC TREATMENT

Are you suffering from mild to severe keratoconus? Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease that weakens the cornea and causes it to bulge into a cone-like shape causing distorted vision. One in 2,000 people are currently suffering from this disease and are looking for a solution. Excel Eye Center can provide Corneal Cross-Linking, the first and only FDA-approved therapeutic treatment.

KERATOCONUS TREATMENT

While those with milder forms of keratoconus can find occasional relief with corrective eyeglasses and contact lenses, many require surgical and therapeutic treatment. Corneal Cross-Linking combines the use of ultra-violet light and riboflavin eye drops to strengthen corneal tissue and halt the bulging of the eye’s surface.

Avedro’s Photrexa/KXL System is the only FDA-approved procedure for progressive keratoconus in the United States. Corneal Cross-Linking can significantly improve the vision of patients and reduce the need for corneal implants.

Along with the treatment of keratoconus, Corneal Cross-Linking can be used in the treatment of patients suffering from complications following LASIK or other vision correcting surgeries.

CORNEAL CROSS-LINKING PROCEDURE

Corneal Cross-Linking is a medical procedure that combines the use of ultra-violet light and riboflavin (vitamin B2) drops to create new corneal collagen cross-links. The treatment includes Photrexa® Viscous (riboflavin 5’-phosphate in 20% dextran ophthalmic solution), Photrexa® (riboflavin 5’-phosphate ophthalmic solution) and the KXL® system. The combination of these medications results in a shortening and thickening of the collagen fibrils as well as stiffening of the cornea.
