PURPOSE: To determine the natural history of collagen crosslinking (CXL)-associated corneal haze measured by Scheimpflug imagery and slitlamp biomicroscopy in patients with keratoconus or ectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis.SETTING: Cornea and refractive surgery subpecialty practice, United States.DESIGN: Prospective randomized controlled clinical trial.METHODS: The treatment group received ultraviolet-A/riboflavin CXL therapy. The control group received riboflavin alone without epithelial debridement. To objectively measure CXL-associated corneal haze, corneal densitometry using Scheimpflug imagery was measured and the changes in haze were analyzed over time. A similar analysis was performed using clinician-determined slitlamp haze. Correlation of CXL-associated corneal haze with postoperative outcomes was analyzed.RESULTS: The mean preoperative corneal densitometry was 14.9 +/- 1.93 (SD) (Pentacam Scheimpflug densitometry units). Densitometry peaked at 1 month (mean 23.4 +/- 4.40; P
