Abstract
Purpose. Corneal collagen cross-linking (CCL) with riboflavin and ultraviolet A irradiation has recently been introduced for treatment of corneal ectasia. Yet a CCL-induced increase in corneal rigidity may interfere with intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements. In an investigation of the effect of CCL on the accuracy of IOP measurements, IOP readings before and after CCL were compared.Keywords
