Experimental animal studies show that corneal CXL without epithelial debridement reduces the biomechanical effect by approximately one-fifth when compared with that obtained with standard CXL ...

In some cases, a therapeutic mechanical debridement of the cornea and the “stalled out” leading epithelial cells is required to encourage epithelial cell migration and adhesion. If this is ...

Corneal epithelial ingrowth (EI ... To address this complication, the researchers used sub-flap debridement, a standard ...
