Natural cross connections between monomers provide the robustness of the helical protein structure. Wollensak and his colleagues developed the Dresden Protocol, a keratoconus treatment based on Corneal Cross-Linkage. We aimed to analyse and present the findings in individuals with progressive keratoconus using topographic and refractive results after corneal collagen crosslinking treatment (CXL) (KC) after 3 months.\nMethods: The study comprises a total of 100 patients who were diagnosed with progressive KC and who underwent CXL between 2021 and 2022 at KRL Hospital Islamabad, Pakistan. All eyes in this study had a preoperative topography within 1 month before CXL treatment and the follow-ups were conducted at 3 months interval.\nResults: In our investigation, 100 patients were added. The average age was 24.74 years. 77% of the patients were between the ages of 12 and 25 years, while 23% were between the ages of 26 and 50 years. In our survey, males made up 84% of the population, while females made up only 16%. The right eye was afflicted in 60% of cases, whereas the left eye was impacted in 40% of the population. Grade 2 Keratoconus affected 42% of patients, whereas Grade 1 Keratoconus affected 18%. Our findings were skewed toward men and the 12\u201325 age group, however in our recent study, we discovered considerable KC stability 3 months after CXL.\nConclusion: Keratometric readings and visual acuity were stabilised or improved with CXL treatment. Keratoconus stability can be reached 3 months following the treatment, according to our findings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.55729\/2000-9666.1111","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,10]],"date-time":"2022-09-10T04:16:39Z","timestamp":1662783399000},"page":"43-47","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Outcomes of Corneal Topographical Kmax readings 3 months after Corneal Cross Linkage in Keratoconus patients"],"prefix":"10.55729","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Abdul Basit","family":"Sangah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Liaquat National Medical College, Karachi Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jaya","family":"Kumari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sindh Medical University, Karachi Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hassan","family":"Mumtaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Research Associate, Maroof international Hospital Public Health Scholar: Health Services Academy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Hasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Institute Karachi"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"34701","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,9]]},"container-title":["Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/scholarlycommons.gbmc.org\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1111&amp;context=jchimp","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,5]],"date-time":"2026-09-05T10:04:00Z","timestamp":1788602640000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/scholarlycommons.gbmc.org\/jchimp\/vol12\/iss5\/7"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,9]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,9]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.55729\/2000-9666.1111","relation":{},"ISSN":["2000-9666"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2000-9666","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,9]]}}}
