Αccelerate Cross-Linking for strength and stability of the cornea!

Revolutionary reduce time in the treatment of cross-linking!

A new collaboration of System Vision with the Avedro company brought in Greece the KXL, a sophisticated system for cross-linking that reduces the treatment time from one-hour to 3 minutes or less!

This process is achieved by increasing energy and reducing UVA exposure time,thereby maintaining the same energy on the eye as standard cross-linking while reducing crosslinking time by an order of magnitude.

Strength of the cornea!

Apart from the treatment of cross-linking, the system KXL offers the opportunity to strengthen the cornea after a LASIK surgery!

After the refractive correction has been made in a standard Lasik procedure, Avedro's proprietary riboflavin formulation is simply applied to the exposed stroma and the flap is replaced. UVA illumination from Avedro's KXL System is then applied through the intact epithelium for little over a minute.

Lasik Xtra poses no material interruption to the normal speed and flow of the Lasik procedure and does not increase patient discomfort. Lasik Xtra's strengthening may be applicable to all current Lasik patients, as well as post-Lasik patients who are suffering from corneal ectasia or who are interested in restoring the strength to their cornea.
