FRANKFURT, Germany — In this Healio Video Perspective from the ESCRS winter meeting, Farhad Hafezi, MD, PhD, speaks about the office-based epi-on cross-linking technique developed by the ELZA Institute in Switzerland.
After several attempts, epi-on CXL achieved efficacy about 5 years ago, but oxygen goggles and iontophoresis devices made it bulky and cumbersome.
“Finally, we have managed to now have an epi-on that simply needs the patient, a slit lamp and eye drops,” Hafezi said. “We will publish our clinical data this year.”
