Initial results of treatment of patients with bullous keratopathy by corneal collagen cross-linking method
Abstract
The article deals with the study on the possibility of using cross-linking in patients with endothelial- epithelial dystrophy of the cornea. It was revealed that corneal collagen cross - linking in patients with bullous keratopathy in the early postoperative period could reduce swelling, increase the transparency of the cornea, improve visual acuity and corneal arrest syndrome.
