Sumario:Corneal collagen cross-linking is a minimally invasive therapeutic technique indicated for the treatment of keratoectasia. Recently, it has also been utilized for a variety of other ophthalmologic conditions ranging from infectious keratitis to corneal edema. We report the novel application of corneal collagen cross-linking in the treatment of recurrent corneal erosions secondary to wound gaping after astigmatic keratotomy (AK).
