Collagen crosslinking is a medical procedure that uses ultraviolet A (UVA) or visible light in combination with riboflavin or other photosensitizing agents to enhance the natural crosslinks between collagen fibers. This treatment strengthens and stabilizes the cornea, improving its structure and reducing the progression of keratoconus. It may also be used for presbyopia or refractive errors.

Collagen Crosslinking is a minimally invasive treatment for stabilizing and strengthening corneal structures in Singapore. It uses riboflavin and ultraviolet A light to induce crosslinks between collagen fibers, improving corneal rigidity and reducing the progression of keratoconus.
Typically performed as an outpatient procedure with local anesthesia. May require multiple sessions for optimal results. Popular alternative to corneal graft surgery in some cases.
