Oxygen in Corneal Collagen Crosslinking to Treat Keratoconus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Conclusions: Increasing oxygen during epithelium-on CXL improved visual acuity and produced corneal flattening without any serious adverse events in patients with keratoconus. The demarcation line depth was significantly higher with oxygen compared to the control group. Further data are required with a control group and long-term follow-up across a range of CXL protocols for implementation into standard clinical practice.
