This procedure represents a significant advancement in the treatment of keratoconus. It begins with the application of riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops onto the cornea, followed by exposure to low-intensity ultraviolet (UVA) light. This light poses no risk to the human eye due to its carefully controlled power.
The laser emits a cool, ultraviolet light beam that precisely reshapes the surface of your cornea. This modification allows light to focus correctly on your retina, which results in clearer and sharper vision.
