Abstract

Patients with large, central corneal ulcer and poor CDVA who were resistant to conventional treatment underwent PACK-CXL. At the end of follow-up, only one eye required emergency penetrating keratoplasty. This low rate might be attributed to a good response to CXL. [J Refract Surg. 2018;34(8):559-563.].
