Corneal cross-linking versus conventional management for keratoconus: a lifetime economic model.

CONCLUSIONS: Keratoconus is a progressive and life-altering disease with substantial clinical, economic, and humanistic consequences. The economic value of cross-linking is maximized when applied earlier in the disease process and/or younger age, and extends to improved work productivity, out-of-pocket costs, and quality of life.
