-
1
Epi-on corneal crosslinking (CXL) outcomes include stromal haze and cellular morphology changes, resolving over time.
-
2
Stromal haze typically appears within the first month and resolves within 20 weeks post-epi-on CXL.
-
3
Contact lens fitting for epi-on CXL patients can begin as early as 1 month for soft, rigid gas permeable, or hybrid lenses.
-
4
Scleral lenses may be fitted for epi-on CXL patients at 2 weeks to 1 month postoperatively, depending on healing.
-
5
Individual healing rates and visual rehabilitation urgency must be considered for optimal postoperative care.
