Abstract Purpose:The aim of this study was to evaluate the 6-month postoperative efficacy and safety of pulsed-light accelerated transepithelial corneal crosslinking in the treatment of progressive keratoconus.

Subjects and methods:Total 13 eyes 12 patients with progressive keratoconus treated with pulsed-light accelerated transepithelial corneal crosslinking using the KXL® crosslinking device(Avedro Inc, Waltham, MA, USA)were included in this study. Corneal tomographic measurements, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent, thinnest corneal thickness, corneal endothelial cell density, and adverse events at preoperative, 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery were investigated retrospectively.

Results:The best spectacle-corrected visual acuity improved from 0.31±0.53 logMAR at baseline to 0.24±0.38 at sixth month, but was not statistically significant(p>0.05). Spherical equivalent did not change significantly from −4.26±4.72D at baseline to −3.89±3.89D at sixth month(p>0.05). Maximum keratometry, average keratometry, and steep keratometry did not change significantly from 61.07±13.32D at respectively(p>0.05). No apparent changes in the thinnest corneal thickness and endothelial cell density and no adverse events were observed throughout the period.

Conclusion:Pulsed-light accelerated transepithelial corneal crosslinking showed no serious complications at 6 months postoperatively, and it may prevent progression of keratoconus.
