Effects of corneal cross-linking on contrast sensitivity, visual acuity, and corneal topography in patients with keratoconus.

abstract：PURPOSE:Investigators have discovered that topical antiglaucoma drugs may induce meibomian gland dysfunction. This response may contribute to the dry eye disease commonly found in patients with glaucoma taking such medications. We hypothesize that drug action involves a direct effect on human meibomian gland epithelial...
