Abstract

Transepithelial collagen cross-linking by iontophoresis might become an effective method for riboflavin impregnation of the corneal stroma reducing the duration of the procedure and being more comfortable for the patients. Further long-term studies are necessary to complete the evaluation of the efficacy and risk spectrum of the modified cross-linking technique.
