The Antibacterial Efficacy of High-Fluence PACK Cross-Linking Can Be Accelerated

Nan-Ji Lu et al.

Summary: The study aims to determine whether high-fluence photoactivated chromophore for keratitis cross-linking (PACK-CXL) can be accelerated. Experimental results show that the high-intensity and dosage PACK-CXL can accelerate the bactericidal effect while maintaining a high level of bactericidal rate, but different strains have certain differences in response.

PACK Cross-Linking as Adjuvant Therapy Improves Clinical Outcomes in Culture-Confirmed Bacterial Keratitis

Asaf Achiron et al.

Summary: This study compared the effects of combined PACK-CXL/standard antibiotic treatment with standard antibiotic treatment alone in patients with culture-confirmed bacterial keratitis. The results showed that the addition of PACK-CXL to standard care had positive effects on final visual acuity and time to resolution in these patients.

PACK-CXL vs. antimicrobial therapy for bacterial, fungal, and mixed infectious keratitis: a prospective randomized phase 3 trial

Farhad Hafezi et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that standalone photoactivated chromophore corneal cross-linking (PACK-CXL) may be an effective first-line treatment for early to moderate infectious keratitis, with similar cure rates compared to standard antimicrobial therapy. This is significant for one of the major causes of global blindness, infectious keratitis.

Summary: RB-PDAT is a potential adjunct therapy for infectious keratitis that may reduce the need for therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty. Patients who undergo keratoplasty after RB-PDAT may have a higher probability of graft survival.

Infectious keratitis: an update on epidemiology, causative microorganisms, risk factors, and antimicrobial resistance

Darren Shu Jeng Ting et al.

Summary: Corneal opacity is the 5th leading cause of blindness globally, and infectious keratitis (IK) is the main cause of corneal blindness in both developed and developing countries. Bacteria and fungi are the most common causative microorganisms, with major risk factors including contact lens wear and ocular surface diseases. Broad-spectrum topical antimicrobial treatment is the mainstay of treatment for IK, although antimicrobial resistance poses a challenge in some parts of the world.
