CACXL

Really happy about the increasing peer acceptance, recognition and adoption of my technique Contact Lens-assisted Corneal Crosslinking (CACXL) for thin keratoconic corneas by extremely well respected colleagues from around the world! Wonderful article just out in the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery from one of the best institutes in India, the PGIMER, Chandigarh on depth of demarcation line after CACXL with two different solutions (JCRS Oct 2017: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29120712). Thanks and Congratulations Arun K Jain and Chintan Malhotra for a world class article!

Big thanks to Brad Randleman, a well respected figure and editor of the highest ranking subspeciality journal in Ophthalmology - the Journal of Refractive Surgery for mentioning it in his excellent talk on corneal crosslinking at the ISRS Subspeciality Day at the American Academy of Ophthalmology 2017, New Orleans this Friday!

Thanks John Kanellopoulos, outgoing President of the International Society of Refractive Surgery and Francis Price, one of the foremost authorities in Corneal surgeries for their belief in this technique since long and John also for inviting me to lecture on his course on CXL at the AAO every year!

Thanks to another very well known figure in crosslinking, Cosimo Mazzotta for collaborating with me in IVCM studies for this technique.

Thanks to Farhad Hafezi, an international leader in crosslinking and the pioneer in providing solutions to crosslink these difficult thin corneas for inviting me to author a chapter on this technique in his and Brad Randleman's fabulous book on CXL and to the brilliant and extremely talented Sabine Kling for collaboration in research in this hot topic.

Thanks to my wonderful, wonderful Brazilian friends and great Ophthalmologists - Daniel Fridman for being one of the earliest internationally to adopt this and Bruno Schneider de Araujo for believing in it and also adopting it! So very grateful also to all my colleagues in the ever expanding Dr. Agarwal's Eye Hospital group for being among the earliest adopters. And finally, thanks to all the terrific Indian Ophthalmologists who have always believed in me and supported me!!
