What is Corneal Cross-Linking (CCL)?


Corneal Cross-Linking (CCL) is a minimally invasive eye treatment designed to strengthen the cornea, the clear, dome-shaped surface of the eye, to prevent further damage caused by conditions such as keratoconus. The procedure uses ultraviolet (UV) light and a riboflavin (vitamin B2) solution to stimulate the formation of new bonds between collagen fibers in the cornea, making it stiffer and more resistant to distortion. This helps to stabilize the cornea, improving vision and reducing the need for a corneal transplant in severe cases.

When is CCL Treatment Needed?


CCL is primarily used to treat keratoconus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, causing blurry or distorted vision. It is also effective for other conditions where the cornea has become weak or unstable. CCL is usually recommended when the cornea is progressively thinning, and traditional corrective lenses (such as glasses or contact lenses) are no longer effective. The procedure can slow or halt the progression of these conditions, offering patients a chance to maintain better vision and avoid more invasive treatments.

Benefits and Recovery


The main benefit of CCL is its ability to stabilize the cornea and prevent further deterioration, which can significantly improve vision and quality of life. After the procedure, patients may experience temporary discomfort, including mild pain, sensitivity to light, and blurred vision. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, during which time patients are advised to avoid certain activities and follow their eye doctor’s aftercare instructions. Most patients notice improvements in vision over several months as the cornea heals and strengthens. Long-term results are generally positive, and many patients experience stable or improved vision after treatment.

My daughter had strabismus surgery performed by Op. Dr. Tülay Arıcı. The surgery went very well and we are happy with the results. Me, my husband and the baby stayed at the hospital for two days after the surgery. We had a convenient stay. My daughter was being checked regularly by the doctors who also helped with placing her eye drops. The hospital also has translators from Turkish to Bulgarian, English and other languages.Many thanks to Op. Dr. Tülay Arıcı, Susana and Ahmed!

My headline would be “DO NOT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL, Not even pass by” I went to Acıbadem branch to have a specific eye test that I had paid 460TL two years ago, this time they initially asked for 710TL which was ok given the cost of rise in Türkiye, as soon as I handed the money in. The receptionist there told me that she made a mistake, the charge for the test should have been 6700TL. It is absolutely disgrace that they charge such an astronomical price for a test that technician will spend 5 mins to press a button to print out the cornea map to give us the count of the cells, no doctors involvement whatsoever. The same test in the uk is £65.. rip off hospital…

Dr Anıl Kubaloğlu quickly and accurately diagnosed our daughter, something that doctors back home had not been able to do for years. He then stopped the progression of the disease with medication and surgery. The staff at the clinic have always been very friendly and helpful, especially Elif Dağlı, who we still contact with various questions and always get the right advice.

That was a great experience at Dunyagoz Eye Hospital in Izmir! I had an operation called LASIK and now enjoy an excellent vision! Dr Gokcen Gokce was very professional, competent and kind, he answered all my questions. Everything was done quick and I left hospital next morning. The hospital is new, very clean and facilities are just great with very big and lovely rooms . I definitely recommend to choose Dunyagoz in Izmir. Special thanks to a young lady Sinem Yuldiz, who accompanied me all the way throughout my stay. She translated all for me, checked on me regularly and was all the points of help! Flawless experience. I am glad I did it exactly there!
