Part-time patching resulted in only a mild reduction in deterioration of intermittent exotropia (IXT), according to Brian G. Mohney, MD.

Often forgotten in the buzz over corneal crosslinking (CXL) is that the procedure kills cells down to 300 µm deep, knocking out everything in its path, including microorganisms and keratocytes, said Theo Seiler, MD, PhD.
