Long-Term Outcomes of Corneal Crosslinking for Keratoconus Across Pediatric, Adolescent, and Adult Populations in a Diverse U.S. Population

Key Points

• To assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of corneal crosslinking (CXL) in improving visual and tomographic outcomes in keratoconus patients of different ages.
• Analyzed long-term outcomes of corneal crosslinking in patients ranging from pediatric to adult populations.
• Included a diverse cohort from various demographics across the U.S.
• Evaluated visual and tomographic outcomes post-intervention.
• Demonstrated improvements in visual acuity and corneal shape after CXL across all age groups.
• Showed that CXL is safe with minimal adverse effects in the long term.
• Supported timely intervention in progressive keratoconus as beneficial across demographics.
