Dr. Agarwal, India
Dr. Boxer Wachler, USA
Dr. Pinelli, Italy
"Collagen cross-linking with riboflavin may be one way to treat iatrogenic ectasia, said Amar Agarwal, M.S., F.R.C.S., Dr. Agarwal's Eye Hospital, Chennai, India.
The technique uses ultraviolet A (UVA) light and riboflavin to create new bonds between the adjacent collagen molecules so that the cornea is one and a half times thicker and less malleable, he said."

"I am 27. I have had keratoconus in my right eye. I underwent keratoplasty four years ago. In the last three years, the left eye has also been affected. I am wearing semi-soft contact lens (-2D) but it is not comfortable. Spectacles do not give better vision. How can this be minimised?"
