Extensive Corneal Neovascularisation Treatment by Ultraviolet Corneal Collagen Crosslinking
Keyword(s):
The purpose of this article is to report a case of extensive corneal neovascularisation that was treated by ultraviolet corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL). The case report is about a 24-year-old man who was referred to the cornea clinic with a case of keratitis. He was treated with topical antibiotics. After full resolution of keratitis, his condition was complicated by extensive corneal neovascularisation. A trial of photochemical corneal collagen CXL with riboflavin/ultraviolet A resulted in a dramatic improvement and resolution of the corneal neovascularisation. Thus, we can conclude that corneal collagen CXL could be a promising procedure to treat certain cases of extensive corneal neovascularisation.
