The iLink® Procedure

Transforming the Standard of Care for Progressive Keratoconus

iLink® corneal cross-linking is an innovative therapy that has transformed the treatment of progressive keratoconus. This minimally invasive outpatient procedure uses Photrexa® Viscous (riboflavin 5’-phosphate in 20% dextran ophthalmic solution) and Photrexa® (riboflavin 5’-phosphate ophthalmic solution) riboflavin eye drops, combined with ultraviolet light from the KXL system to1:

  • Create new corneal collagen cross-links
  • Shorten and thicken collagen fibrils
  • Stiffen and strengthen the cornea

Other ocular side effects include punctate keratitis, corneal striae, dry eye, corneal epithelium defect, eye pain, light sensitivity, reduced visual acuity, and blurred vision.

These are not all the side effects of the corneal collagen cross-linking treatment. For more information, go to Prescribing Info to obtain the FDA-approved product labeling.
