Corneal collagen cross-linking offers hope to those with keratoconus by halting its progression and stabilizing the cornea. Though it doesn't reverse existing damage, early intervention can prevent more severe vision loss and the need for more invasive surgeries. Patients are encouraged to consult their ophthalmologist regularly to monitor their condition and discuss treatment options like CXL. With proper post-treatment care, CXL can be a highly effective tool in maintaining long-term corneal health.
