Scope note: Tratamiento oftálmico utilizado para prevenir la debilitación o el abultamiento de la CÓRNEA en la ECTASIA corneal, por ejemplo la ectasia post-LASIK, el QUERATOCONO y la degeneración corneal marginal pelúcida. Utiliza luz UVA y RIBOFLAVINA para entrecruzar y fortalecer las fibras de COLÁGENO en el interior de la córnea.
