Purpose:
|
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of
collagen cross linking(CXL)in the
management of infectious keratitis.
|
|
Methods:
|
Methods:Fourty eyes(22 male and 18
female)with active bacterial,fungal
or acanthamoebal keratitis after
medical(20 eyes) or combined
medical plus CXL treatment(20
eyes)were enrolled.
|
|
Results:
|
Results: The infectious keratitis was associated
with bacteria in 26 eyes (65%),fungus in 9 eyes (22.5%)and Acanthamoeba in 5 eyes
(12.5%).The mean time of reepithelization
after CXL was 15.41+/-1.8 days in the CXL group
vs17.23+/-1 days in the control
group(p=0.04).Small infiltrations(<=3 mm) healed in
10.24+/-1days in the CXL group
versus 15.38+/-1days in the control
group (p=0.03).
|
|
Conclusion:
|
Conclusion: Compared to conventional medical
therapy, combined medical and CXL
accelerate corneal epithelization.The smaller lesion, the faster healing time.
