Ectasia Clinical Trial - Higher Irradiance in Keratoconus Ectasia

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to see if brighter lights will allow for shortening of the treatment time required to stabilize the eyes of patients with keratoconus or a bulging cornea. The investigators will be comparing the therapeutic effects of two different higher brightnesses of ultra violet light on a riboflavin treated eye. One light will be twice as bright as the other and the exposure time of these brighter lights to deliver equivalent energy to the cornea will be reduced from the standard 30 minutes to 10 and 5 minutes. Riboflavin is vitamin B2 and the investigators are trying to determine if an identical clinical effect can be achieved the brighter treatment lights are used for shorter times. The investigators will also monitor the clinical effect and the status of the cornea to see if additional risks are associated with the brighter light.
