Intervention  XENIA  XENIA is a corneal implant made of natural corneal collagen of animal (porcine) origin, in stabilizing the keratoconic cornea. XENIA material, natural corneal collagen, has been successfully validated by Mother Nature- with a follow- up of more than 450 million years with excellent results. The XENIA material is completely devoid of foreign cells and, hence much more tolerable. Xenia is reversible and DALK (Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty) can still be performed in a worst- case situation. XENIA is in full compliance with the latest EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745.

Brief Summary   This is a Prospective open-label, academic investigator initiated clinical study. The primary aim of this study is to assess the safety of implanting the Xenia TM in subjects suffering from Keratoconus. Safety will be assessed by evaluating the rate of adverse events and adverse device effects occurred throughout the study period. Efficacy will be assessed by measuring the change in best corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) and uncorrected distance visual acuity, changes in corneal thickness, corneal clarity and ocular refraction.
The double rationale of using Xenia TM is
1. thicken the pathological cornea using material which is almost identical in structure andcomposition to the corneal stroma improving the BCVA
2. support to the cornea as a whole preventing the progression of the keratoconus disease.
