[Hazeformation (corneal scarring) after cross-linking therapy in keratoconus]. / Haze-Bildung nach Vernetzungstherapie bei Keratokonus.

The aim of cross-linking therapy is to prevent keratoconus progression and stabilize the present refractive situation. A 41-year-old man was treated with collagen cross-linking in one eye. Postoperatively there were a diffuse subepithelial opacification and a paracentral corneal thinning. This superficial scarring in the sense of a "haze" disappeared only gradually despite intensive therapy.
