Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of PiXL in the refractive correction of low hyperopia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This clinical study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of PiXL in the refractive correction of low hyperopia.Slightly modified settings from previously published study is applied to eyes with low hyperopia with an expected refractive change of 0.75 D. Aim is to evaluate the refractive outcome of this procedure.

Photorefractive intrastromal corneal crosslinking (PiXL)

Patients undergo PiXL where the UVA light is delivered in customized patterns and corneal changes are achieved. For hyperopia, a ring shape irradiation is used to steepen the central cornea. An oxygen mask is used to enhance the crosslinking efficacy. A dedicated riboflavin formulation penetrates the corneal stroma. Pulsed UVA light with oxygen triggers the covalent bonds of collagen strands in riboflavin soaked cornea.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PiXL

Intervention Type RADIATION

The system is set to deliver 30 mW/cm2 UVA irradiance in pulsed intervals of 1 second on and 1 second off to 5 to 9 mm diameter corneal annulus. Total energy delivered is 15J.
