Study Summary

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of epithelium-on corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in impeding the progression of, and/or reducing corneal curvature (Kmax) in eyes with progressive keratoconus. Epithelium-on CXL uses a formulation that allows the riboflavin to penetrate the cornea without the need to remove the epithelium, the outer most layer of the cornea.

Primary Outcome

Mean difference of at least 1 diopter in Kmax change from baseline to Month 6 between treatment groups
