Frequently Asked Questions
What is Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) at Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic?
Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) at Samsung Miracle Eye Clinic is a procedure that strengthens the cornea by 150% by applying riboflavin (vitamin B2) to the cornea and then exposing it to ultraviolet (UVA) rays. This process enhances corneal resilience, improving vision and preventing complications such as keratoconus and myopic regression after vision correction surgery.
How is the Corneal Cross-Linking procedure performed?
The procedure involves four steps: 1. A portion of the corneal stroma is corrected with a laser. 2. Riboflavin is applied to the corneal stroma and allowed to absorb. 3. After absorption, any remaining solution is rinsed off. 4. The corneal tissue is then exposed to UVA rays to strengthen it.
Who should consider Corneal Cross-Linking surgery?
Individuals who may benefit from Corneal Cross-Linking surgery include those with high myopia or astigmatism requiring significant corneal ablation, asymmetrical corneal shapes or suspected keratoconus, concerns about myopia regression or corneal ectasia post-surgery, frequent eye rubbing due to allergic conjunctivitis or atopic dermatitis, or thin corneas making reoperation difficult.
