Customized photorefractive keratectomy with minimal tissue ablation combined with corneal cross-linking seems to be a long-term safe and effective strategy for anatomical and visual management of keratoconus, postsurgical ectasia, and other ectasia management. Multiple published studies, many with long-term follow-up, have supported the Athens Protocol and its various forms as a means to manage corneal ectatic disorders, which not only stabilize corneal shapes but also improve functional vision.
