Synopsis: This course will discuss the clinical use of corneal collagen crosslinking in the treatment of a wide spectrum of diseases including corneal ectasia, infective keratitis, bullous keratopathy and cystic bleb leakage. Various techniques of crosslinking will be discussed, including use of accelerated, pulsed and trans-epithelial crosslinking. Objective: At the conclusion of this course, the attendee will be more confident in selecting the most suitable technique of crosslinking in the treatment of keratoconus. They will also have a better understanding on the use of crosslinking in other anterior segment disorders including leaking cystic bleb, bullous keratopathy and infectious keratitis.
