PURPOSE: To analyze the 10-year results of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) for keratoconus.SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital, Dresden, Germany.DESIGN: Retrospective interventional case series.METHODS: The study included eyes treated for progressive keratoconus from 2000 to 2004. Corneal collagen crosslinking was performed by applying riboflavin and ultraviolet-A. The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), corneal topography, and endothelial cell count (ECC) were recorded preoperatively and 10 years postoperatively.RESULTS: The study enrolled 24 patients (34 eyes). The mean age of the 18 men and 6 women was 28.4 years +/- 7.3 (SD) and the mean follow-up, 131.9 +/- 20.1 months. The mean apical keratometry (K) value was 61.5 diopters (D) preoperatively and 55.3 D 10 years postoperatively; the decrease was statistically significant (P
