ABSTRACT

Em meados da década de 90, o crosslinking de colágeno corneano foto-induzido utilizando riboflavina foi proposto como uma nova modalidade terapêutica no tratamento do ceratocone. Desde então foram estudados os efeitos deste procedimento em ambiente laboratorial e posteriormente em ensaios clínicos. Neste artigo, revisamos a literatura que já foi publicada até o momento no intuito de expor sobre o procedimento e seus efeitos.
