Under-the-Flap Crosslinking and LASIK in Early Ectasia with Hyperopic Refractive Error.

Conclusion: Early results showed that under-the-flap CXL with excimer laser correction is an effective treatment for early hyperopic keratectasia, with the advantage of rapid recovery, postoperative corneal stability, and no epithelial healing complications. The procedure seems to bear a risk for postoperative epithelial growth into the flap interface. PMID: 30581603 [PubMed]
