Özet

Purpose; To evaluate the efficacy and safety of silicone hydrogel contact lens-assisted corneal cross-linking (CL-CXL) and compare 12-month visual and topographic outcomes with accelerated CXL using hypo-osmolar riboflavin (A-CXL) in keratoconus patients with thin corneas (below 400 mu m with epithelium).
