Is it useful to cool the cornea during cross-linking? The researchers at ELZA are constantly trying to improve corneal cross-linking. Back in 2013, we identified
Why would you want to perform corneal cross-linking at the slit lamp? Well, it is a powerful and versatile therapy, that can not only halt
It’s clear that there is a link between eye rubbing and keratoconus. Eye rubbing can alter the strength of the cornea, which can cause keratoconus to
We at the ELZA Institute are proud to report that our landmark paper that describes how the sub400 protocol is used to perform CXL in
The reason why ELZA is an international leader in eye care is that we have superb clinicians… who also are also superb and prolific academic researchers. Last year, our clinicians published 68 unique papers – four more than in 2019, our previous record-breaking year!
An article in Ophthalmology Times Europe highlights modern keratoconus care, and features ELZA Medical Director Prof. Farhad Hafezi.
We took a biological approach to what has been classically viewed as a physics problem. If the laser ablation is causing inflammation, can we change how the laser energy is delivered to the cornea in order to cause less inflammation?
On August 27–28th, 2020, some of ELZA’s surgeons and researchers attended the 113th Annual Congress of the SOG/SSO (the Swiss Ophthalmological Society).
Treating infectious keratitis with CXL is not like treating keratoconus with CXL. We recently had to write a letter to the journal, Ophthalmology, to point out the flaws in a recent publication in the journal.
