Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study will evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of the UV-X System for Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking in Eyes with Corneal Infection. The treatment of UV-X system is to use the eyedrops of the riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, and ultraviolet A (UVA) light. The eye drops are placed in affected eye and then affected cornea is exposed to UVA. UVA/riboflavin corneal collagen cross-linking was first used to treat patients in 1998 in Dresden, Germany. Data to date obtained mostly by physicians outside the United States has strongly suggested this treatment as an acceptable alternative, and many subjects have had a lasting effect (no progression) 3-5 years after their initial treatment.
