Corneal recovery after CXL
Continuous healing process:
• Epithelial cells regeneration ‐ 4 days
• Abnormal or delayed epithelial healing
• Epithelial layers remodelling – first months
• Corneal nerves recovery – 6 months
Conclusions
• Hybrid CL are an effective option for vision
restoration shortly after CXL
• UH design demonstrated less deleterious
influence on corneal integrity
• Patients should be in the best ocular
surface condition before CL fitting
• Avoidance of contact with the treated zone
is crucial for normal corneal recovery
