Corneal Cross-Linking

Cross-linking discussed for keratoconus or ectasia after corneal mapping.

Overview

Corneal cross-linking aims to stabilise a weakening cornea. It is not a vision-correction guarantee. The ophthalmologist reviews topography, thickness, and whether CXL, lenses, or another path is appropriate.

Who it may be suitable for

  • Patients with documented keratoconus or ectasia under specialist review
  • Adults who can attend imaging and UV-protocol visits

Techniques

  • Epithelium-off or epithelium-on protocols as the clinic uses

Procedure timeline

    Imaging

    Corneal maps and thickness.

  2. 02

    Treatment session

    If the cornea is suitable.

Recovery

  • Pain and light sensitivity are common, especially with epithelium-off protocols.

Expected process

  1. 1. Share photos, medical history, and travel constraints with a coordinator
  2. 2. A clinician reviews suitability before any itinerary is confirmed
  3. 3. Transfers, hotel nights, and appointments are arranged if you choose a coordinated package

Is this treatment right for me?

This is not a medical diagnosis. Final suitability requires professional evaluation.

Can you travel to Istanbul and stay the suggested number of nights?
Do you have a known medical condition that might affect surgery or dentistry?
Can you share photos or X-rays for a remote review?
