PURPOSE: To discuss current combined corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) and refractive surgical techniques (herein termed "CXL plus") for the treatment of corneal ectatic disorders to improve functional visual acuity in addition to corneal stability from CXL alone.
METHODS: Literature review.
RESULTS: Efficacious combined treatments with CXL include: photorefractive keratectomy, transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy, intrastromal corneal ring segments implantation, phakic intraocular lens implantation, and multiple combined procedures. Some uncertainty remains as to the optimal strategies for each patient. A decision tree is proposed to facilitate optimal patient management.
CONCLUSIONS: With multiple adjuvant techniques, CXL plus is likely to benefit many patients with corneal ectatic disorders. The appropriate combined procedure will depend on multiple factors, such as refraction, corneal thickness, and degree of irregular astigmatism.
