After much anticipation and a long wait for both clinicians and patients in need, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved corneal cross-linking (CXL) in mid April. This procedure is globally considered the only method of halting the progressive family of diseases called corneal ectasias, including keratoconus.

In a landmark paper titled “Global consensus on keratoconus and ectatic diseases” published in the April 2015 issue of Cornea, Gomes et al sought to reach a consensus of the definition, concepts, clinical management, and surgical treatments of keratoconus and the family of corneal ectatic diseases.
