When it comes to preserving and protecting vision, few breakthroughs have been as impactful as corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL)—a procedure designed to halt the progression of keratoconus and other corneal ectatic disorders. At VOLD Vision, you’ll be treated by one of the world’s foremost leaders in this field, Dr. Steven Vold.

What Is Collagen Crosslinking?

Collagen crosslinking is a minimally invasive treatment that strengthens the cornea—the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of your eye. It involves applying riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops followed by controlled ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. This process creates new crosslinks between collagen fibers, increasing the cornea’s rigidity and stopping further thinning or bulging.

Who Is Collagen Crosslinking For?

CXL is most commonly used to treat:

• Keratoconus – a condition that causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone shape

• Post-LASIK or PRK Ectasia – progressive corneal instability after refractive surgery

• Corneal weakening in younger patients – especially those with rapidly changing prescriptions

Benefits of Collagen Crosslinking at VOLD Vision

• Stops Progressive Vision Loss – CXL is the only FDA-approved treatment shown to halt keratoconus

• Preserves Natural Vision – Strengthening the cornea can reduce or prevent the need for corneal transplants

• Can Improve Contact Lens Tolerance – A more stable cornea often improves fit and comfort

• Performed by a Global Leader – Dr. Steven Vold is internationally recognized for his leadership and innovation in crosslinking technologies
