COTTBUS, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Paulig Eye Surgery Centre announces today that it has acquired advanced technology for performing Keraflex KXL, a new, non-invasive, non-surgical treatment for keratoconus.

Keratoconus is a debilitating visual impairment for which there are limited treatment options. Using the Keraflex System, a non-surgical microwave device, keratoconic corneas can be gently reshaped in a simple procedure that lasts only a few seconds. Following corneal reshaping, the cornea is then strengthened and biomechanically stabilized in a procedure taking only minutes using Avedro’s KXL System for accelerated cross-linking. Until now, there has been no treatment to non-invasively reshape a keratoconic cornea and prior cross-linking alternatives required one hour to complete.

Dr. Sylvia Paulig is an innovator and international leader in providing comprehensive eye care. She states, “The combined technology and procedures that Avedro has made available to the Paulig Eye Surgery Center offers our keratoconic patients a non-surgical alternative to correct their vision adversely affected by keratoconus and then quickly and efficiently stabilizing and halting the progression of their disease.
