To determine whether the Peschke PXL-330 system is safe and effective in the treatment of corneal thinning conditions.
Patients with progressive keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, infectious keratitis, 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, intraocular pressure, and visual function questionnaire.
