Studies comparing the effects of prophylactic corneal CXL with laser refractive surgery technique versus laser refractive surgery technique alone in myopic eyes were included. The included articles regarding prophylactic CXL combination with laser refractive surgery technique, riboflavin was all delivered into the stroma with similar accelerated protocols (irradiance of\u00a030mW\/cm\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      for 60-90 seconds). Primary outcome measures included post-operative changes of keratometry, refraction, corneal thickness, endothelial cell density, and both corrected and uncorrected distance visual acuity (CDVA\/UDVA) as the surrogate parameters to corneal stability, measured from post-operative 1-12 and 1-24 months.
