Sommario/riassunto

"The first of its kind, this comprehensive book, Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking, brings together cross-linking theory, treatment, outcomes, complications and their management. Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking provides a concise yet comprehensive summary of the cross-linking (CXL) process, including the basic science foundations, treatment protocols and outcomes, recognition and management of potential complications, and modifications of the standard protocol for special circumstances. Inside the pages of Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking, Dr. Farhad Hafezi and Dr. J. Bradley Randleman include the latest available information on CXL and additional clinical applications, including CXL for infectious keratitis and corneal edema, CXL combined with other treatments for improved refractive outcomes in patients with keratoconus and ectasia after LASIK, and CXL in the pediatric population. Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking is a perfect resource for a wide range of clinicians and researchers, including general ophthalmologists, refractive surgeons, corneal specialists, pediatric



ophthalmologists, and optometrists"--Provided by publisher.
