Review of current indications for combined very high fluence collagen cross-linking and laser in situ keratomileusis surgery

Review of current indications for combined very high fluence collagen cross-linking and laser in situ keratomileusis surgery

In this brief review we will discuss the reasoning and evolution of our current use of combined very high-fluence collagen crosslinking and laser in situ keratomileusis. Several presentations and pertinent publications are reviewed, along with the key steps of the enhanced LASIK procedure. Long term...
