Purpose To characterize corneal biomechanical properties utilizing a dynamic ultra-high-speed Scheimpflug camera equipped with a non-contact tonometer (CorVis ST, CST) in keratoconic corneas following continuous high intensity, high irradiance corneal cross-linking. Design Prospective longitudinal single-centre study at a tertiary referral center. Methods Corneal biomechanical properties were measured in patients with progressive keratoconus undergoing high intensity (30 mW/cm2), high irradiance (5.4 J/cm2), accelerated corneal cross-linking with continuous exposure to ultraviolet-A for 4 min. CST was used to assess corneal biomechanical properties pre-operatively and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months post-operatively. CST output videos were further analyzed using several previously reported algorithms. Results A total of 25 eyes of 25 participants were examined. The mean age of participants was 20.9 ± 5.3 years; 56% were male and 80% were of Māori or Pacific Island origin. Energy absorbed area (mN mm), was the only significantly changed parameter compared to baseline at all time points measuring 3.61 ± 1.19 preoperatively, 2.81 ± 1.15 at 1 month ( p = 0.037), 2.79 ± 0.81 ( p = 0.033) at 3 months, 2.76 ± 0.95 ( p = 0.028) at 6 months and 2.71 ± 1.18 ( p = 0.016) at 12 months. Conclusions The significant difference between the pre and post-operative energy absorbed area appears to reflect changes in corneal viscous properties that occur following corneal cross-linking.

ABSTRACT We present a case of progressive pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD) treated with cross-linking (CXL) after a previous unsuccessful implantation of intracorneal ring segments. One year after surgery, an increase in the corneal biomechanical properties accompanied by an improvement in corrected visual acuity and a decrease in the magnitude of corneal coma-like aberrations was observed. However, the magnitude of the refractive cylinder and keratometry increased whereas the internal astigmatism was reduced by 3.93 D. CXL in a cornea with a progressive PMD seems to induce not only changes in the anterior corneal surface, but also in the posterior corneal surface.
