Abstract
This article contains a clinical case of a favorable outcome of treatment of chronic keratoconus by the collagen cross-linking with modified parameters. Possible mechanisms of action of collagen cross-linking on biomechanical and biochemical properties of the cornea are presented as well as survey data and postoperative dynamic monitoring of the patient before and after collagen cross-linking. Reasoning about new ways to perfect standard approaches with the aim of improving the results of the application of this treatment are also given.
