Bridging the Gap: A Novel Application of Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking in Treating Recurrent Corneal Erosions Secondary to Wound Gaping After Astigmatic Keratotomy.

Corneal collagen cross-linking is a minimally invasive therapeutic technique indicated for the treatment of keratoectasia. Recently, it has also been utilized for a variety of other ophthalmologic conditions ranging from infectious keratitis to corneal edema. We report the novel application of corneal collagen cross-linking in the treatment of recurrent corneal erosions secondary to wound gaping after astigmatic keratotomy (AK).
