Synopsis
This book provides comprehensive coverage of corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL), a major management modality for keratoconus and ectatic corneal disorders. All aspects are covered, including refractive and non-refractive surgery indications, models of application, safety, efficacy, performance, outcome measures, evidence of CXL, complications, contraindications, use in children, and controversies. The discussion reflects the considerable progress that has been made in understanding of the modality since its development in the late 1990s. Detailed attention is paid to new concepts, changing surgical techniques and indications, the latest evidence-based science and research, and the future of CXL. Guidance is also provided on the use of CXL in combination with other modalities, such as LASIK, PRK, intracorneal ring implantation and others. The text is accompanied by numerous high-quality color illustrations. Corneal Collagen Cross Linking will provide the reader with a sound grasp of the technique and its use and will hopefully also serve as a stimulus to further research and advances.

"This is an in-depth look at keratoconus management and ectatic corneal disease, with illustrative figures and instructive take-home messages after each section. ... The intended audience is highly specialized -- ophthalmologists focusing on corneal disease -- although the book may be interesting for other practitioners. ... The best features of the book are the clean design, the excellent and high-quality color figures, and the succinct summary bullet points at the end of each section that recap the material just covered." (Tiffany A. Chen, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2017)

"Corneal Collagen Cross Linking (Springer), by Mazen M Sinjab and Arthur B Cummings is a 280-page discussion on the current state-of-the-art of CXL and it aims to present the reader with all this information in one place. ... This book is intended for ambitious residents, cornea fellows, current cornea specialist, and general ophthalmologists who are considering incorporating CXL into their practice and would like up-to-date information in a well-written and convenient package."
