Corneal Cross Linking (CCL) (One eye) in Prof. Or Kaiserman
About the clinic
Corneal Cross Linking (CXL) for one eye is available at the clinic of Prof. Or Kaiserman in Petah Tikva, Israel. This procedure helps patients with keratoconus by strengthening the corneal tissue to stop the disease from getting worse. Treatment is led by Prof. Or Kaiserman, a cornea specialist who received an achievement award from the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Advanced CXL Method
The clinic uses the German-Swiss IROC accelerated device for this procedure. This system uses seven diodes to emit UVA light, which activates riboflavin (Vitamin B2) in the eye. This process creates new chemical bonds between collagen fibers to stiffen the cornea. A specialized optics system compensates for any small head movements during the session. The treatment beam is adjusted to match the exact size of the patient's eye. Because it is an accelerated method, the active treatment time takes around 10 minutes.
Safety and Benefits
This approach to treating keratoconus offers several advantages for eye health:
- No incisions are made during the procedure, which lowers the risk of scarring.
- Low risk of infection compared to wearing rigid contact lenses every day.
- No rejection risk because no donor tissue or grafts are used.
- Better tolerance for contact lenses once the eye has healed.
Recovery and Results
Patients return home on the same day as the procedure. A bandage contact lens is placed on the eye and must remain dry until a doctor removes it. Most patients can start wearing their regular contact lenses again after about four weeks. While the main goal is to stop the disease, vision often changes and stabilizes over several weeks. For those needing vision correction, Prof. Dr. Or Kaiserman can combine CXL with the Athens protocol or corneal ring implants.
