Did you ever have LASIK? A lot of the LASIK industry is calling LASIK induced thinning of the cornea, or ECTASIA, instead lying and calling you "misdiagnosed" with a disease called KERATACONUS. So be careful folks. The LASIK industry is evolving away from LASIK to Collagen Cross Linking "CCL" because they know thinning out the Cornea is NOT GOOD and causes Dry Eye Pain, the FLAP is permanent and never heals, etc...
The procedure is that: some yellow drops of riboflavin solution (basically vitamin B2) in combination with a bunch of ultra violet rays (to help the tissues observe the vitamin) will help the major body mass of the cornea (the Stroma) to maintain the collagen strands mechanism and strengthen it, thus preventing the Cornea from deteriorating further and stopping it!
The protective Epithelium layer (outer surface (top) of the Cornea) will be removed to help the solution reach and interact better with the Cornea (Stroma). The Epithelium layer will grow back and rebuild itself completely with 2-3 days.
This effect of the vitamin is called cross-linking (strengthening). =)
