200Safety and Effectiveness of the PXL-Platinum 330 System for Corneal Collagen Cross-linking in Eyes With Corneal Thinning Conditions
Patients with progressive keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, or at risk for post-refractive corneal ectasia will be recruited and undergo epithelial-on corneal crosslinking with the Peschke PXL-330 system using pulsed, accelerated energy delivery. Patients will undergo monitoring for 1 year, with serial measurements of corneal topography, visual acuity, pachymetry, and visual function.
Riboflavin will be used to load the cornea, followed by UV-A crosslinking of the cornea
6mW/cm2, with pulsed mode, 10 seconds on, 10 second off, for 30 minute total treatment time
4mW/cm2, with pulsed mode, 10 seconds on, 10 second off, for 45 minute total treatment time
Inclusion Criteria Subjects who have one or both eyes that meet criteria 1-4 and also meet at least 1 or more of criteria 5-11 will be considered candidates for this study: 8 years of age or older Signed written informed consent Willingness and ability to comply with schedule for follow-up visits Contact Lens Wearers Only: Removal of contact lenses for the required period of time prior to the screening refraction: Contact Lens Type Minimum Discontinuation Time Soft 3 days Soft Extended Wear 3 days Soft Toric 3 days Rigid gas permeable 2 Weeks Subjects who cannot function without wearing their contact lenses, may forgo discontinuation of contact lenses. Presence of central or inferior steepening. Axial topography consistent with keratoconus, post-surgical ectasia, or pellucid marginal degeneration Presence of one or more findings associated with keratoconus or pellucid marginal degeneration, such as: Fleischer ring Vogt's striae Decentered corneal apex Munson's sign Rizzutti's sign Apical Corneal scarring consistent with Bowman's breaks Scissoring of the retinoscopic reflex Crab-claw appearance on topography Steepest keratometry (Kmax) value ≥ 47.20 D I-S keratometry difference > 1.5 D on the Pentacam/Orbscan map or topography map Posterior corneal elevation >16 microns Thinnest corneal point >300 microns
