What is the UK Cross-linking Consortium?

The UK Cross-linking Consortium was established in 2013 with funding from the Medical Research Council. As set out in our mission statement, the UK Cross-linking Consortium strives to:

• Provide a forum for ophthalmologists and vision scientists to develop research collaborations and co-ordinated multi-centre studies.
• Establish a code of best practice for corneal cross-linking in order to standardise the treatment and its measurement outcomes.
• Provide credible information and advice to national bodies about developments in corneal cross-linking.
