Clinical Trial of CXL in children gets the go ahead

Postby Anne Klepacz » Tue 01 Sep 2015 10:51 am

Some of you will remember reading in last summer's newsletter that 3 hospitals (Moorfields, St Paul's Eye Unit in Liverpool and the Hallamshire in Sheffield) were applying for funding for this trial. Their application has been successful and the trial will start recruiting in spring 2016. We'll give more details as we get them but this will be very valuable research into how crosslinking works for youngsters under 17.

Details of the trial were included in the latest newsletter but I see that Moorfields have also posted information on their website:
