The Keralink Trial was the first randomized clinical trial that tested the hypothesis that corneal cross-linking (CXL) might decrease keratoconus progression in children compared with the use of spectacles or contact lenses.

The Keralink trial results answered an important question regarding the time at which corneal cross-linking should be performed.

In a presentation at the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology Congress in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Kyoko Ohno-Matsui, MD, PhD, noted that changes of scleral curvature and staphyloma edge development may occur in synchronicity.

Analysis of data from the pooled Tenaya and Lucerne studies showed the faricimab achieved greater anatomic improvements compared to aflibercept during the matched-dosing period.

Greater anatomic improvements (central subfield thickness reduction, proportion with absence of subretinal fluid and intraretinal fluid) were seen with faricimab versus aflibercept during the matched dosing period (week 4, week 8, and week 12).
