CXL is an add-on procedure that is incorporated into your TransPRK procedure which helps to strengthen your cornea and maintain the longevity of your post TransPRK vision. During laser vision correction procedures, the excimer laser reshapes the cornea by removing corneal tissue in order to correct refractive power. As such, thin and weak corneas may be at risk of bulging forwards after surgery, resulting in a condition called cornea ectasia, which CXL helps to reduce the risk of.

 

At Clearvision, we use the Avedro KXL® System, specially customised by a team of scientists and engineers for integration with TransPRK procedures.
