PURPOSE: To determine preoperative patient characteristics that may predict topography and visual acuity outcomes of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL). SETTING: Cornea and refractive surgery practice. DESIGN: Cohort study. METHODS: Cross linking was performed in eyes with keratoconus or corneal ectasia. Multiple regression and odds ratio analyses were performed to determine independent predictors of changes in topography-derived maximum keratometry (K) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) 1 year postoperatively. Preoperative characteristics included sex, age, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), CDVA, maximum keratometry (K), corneal thickness, corneal haze, disease group, and cone location. Postoperative improvement in maximum K was defined as flattening of 2.0 diopters (D) or more and worsening as steepening of 1.0 D or more. Improvement in CDVA was defined as a gain of 2 lines or more and worsening as a loss of 1 line or more. RESULTS: The study comprised 104 eyes (66 keratoconus; 38 corneal ectasia). Eyes with a preoperative CDVA of 20/40 or worse were 5.9 times (95% confidence interval [Cl], 2.2-6.4) more likely to improve 2 Snellen lines or more. Eyes with a maximum K of 55.0 D or more were 5.4 times (95% Cl, 2.1-14.0) more likely to have topographic flattening of 2.0 D or more. No preoperative characteristics significantly predicted worsening of visual acuity or corneal topography. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with worse preoperative CDVA and higher K values, particularly with a CDVA of 20/40 or worse or a maximum K of 55.0 D or more, were most likely to have improvement after CXL. No preoperative characteristics were predictive of CXL failure.
