Corneal Collagen Crosslinking is an emerging treatment for corneal ectatic disorders, keratoconus being the most common. It has the potential, in one treatment, to freeze the progression of these conditions. All that is required is one 30min exposure with UVA light at 365nm, following treatment of the cornea with riboflavin. In vitro studies have shown corneal strength increases of 3-4 times.

The SDZ X-Linker is designed from the ground up by an ophthalmic surgeon to provide a homogenous and accurate dosage of UVA light, with inbuilt safety mechanisms to ensure smooth output without fluctuaions, with an integrated colour camera in the delivery head to monitor the treatment and ensure correct positioning. A 30min countdown timer automatically starts and stops the treatment, and can be paused at any time.
