Authors' objectives:
To assess the available evidence on the efficacy, safety and coverage related aspects regarding corneal collagen crosslinking use in patients with keratoconus.
Authors' recommendations:
Low quality evidence suggests that CXL could slightly improve the VA and disease progression in patients with progressive keratoconus. The CPGs support its indication. Studies with more patients and with longer follow up are needed to be more certain whether CXL intervention stops long term disease progression and if the VA benefits obtained persist.
