CORNEAL CROSS-LINKING

As a leading eye care clinic, Asian Eye Institute offers unparalleled services, including corneal cross-linking procedures.

All About Corneal Cross-Linking:
What Is CXL and How Can It Benefit You?

Certain conditions, like diseases or surgery, can damage the collagen that holds the cornea together. It leads to a weakened or warped cornea, which can be treated through corneal cross-linking (CXL). You can get this service here at Asian Eye Institute with the help of our eye care specialists.

Why Get Corneal Cross-Linking

CXL is a preventative measure against the further thinning or bulging of the cornea due to certain diseases (like keratoconus) or other factors. The treatment is minimally invasive and is pivotal in maintaining the natural shape of the cornea. If it is successful, patients will no longer have to undergo corneal transplants.

What Happens During Corneal Cross-Linking?

CXL is an outpatient procedure. Your doctor will first numb your eyes, preventing you from feeling any discomfort during the entire process. Afterward, the outer layer of the cornea or epithelium will be removed before the medicine is applied directly to the cornea. You are expected to fully recover after a few weeks.
