<dc:description>ABSTRACT&#xd;
Obiettivo. Confronto dei risultati visivi e topografici in pazienti con cheratocono in evoluzione, sottoposti a cross-linking corneale (CCL) con procedura epi-off ed epi-on.&#xd;
Materiali e metodi. 72 pazienti; 36 tecnica standard e 36 tecnica transepiteliale, da gennaio 2010 a luglio 2011. Pachimetria &amp;gt; 400 ìm. Follow-up dopo trattamento (1,3 e 6 mesi) eseguito con: visus naturale e corretto, refrazione, biomicroscopia alla lampada a fessura, topografia corneale.&#xd;
Risultati. 36 trattati con CCL standard dopo 6 mesi si dimostra riduzione del Kmax di 2 D e aumento visus di 3/10. Complicanze: 4 casi haze transitorio a 2 mesi risolto con steroidi topici. 36 con CCL transepiteliale, incremento visus di 5/10 e riduzione Kmax di 4 D e no complicanze significative.&#xd;
Conclusioni.CCL transepiteliale migliore di quello standard (riduzione Kmax e aumento visus). Considerando l assenza di complicanze postoperatorie, meglio adoperare il CCL epi-on in questi casi.</dc:description>
<dc:description>ABSTRACT&#xd;
Purpose. Comparison of visual and topographic outcomes between patients with evolutive keratoconus treated with standard or transepithelial corneal cross-linking (CCL).&#xd;
Materiali e metodi. 72 patients; 36 standard procedure e 36 transepithelial one, from January 2010 to July 2011. Pachimetry &amp;gt; 400 ìm. Follow-up after treatment (1,3 e 6 months)&#xd;
Risultati. 36 treated with standard CCL after 6 months Kmax reduction of 2 D, visual improvement of 3/10. Complications: 4 cases of transient haze after 2 months treated with topical steroids. 36 treated with transepithelial CCL, visual improvement of 5/10 and Kmax reduction of 4 D and no evident complications.&#xd;
Conclusioni. Transepithelial CCL better than standard one (Kmax reduction and visual improvement). Considering the absence of postoperative complications, it is better to treat patients with transepithelial CCL.</dc:description>
