Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
•Progression of Keratoconus [Time Frame: Pre-operative visit, 1,3, 6 & 12 Months Follow-up]
•Best Corrected Visual acuity [Time Frame: Pre-operative visit, 1,3, 6 & 12 Months Follow-up]
Visual Acuity (VA) is measured in logMAR. LogMAR is the "logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution". A lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity.
•Endothelial Cell Count [Time Frame: Pre-operative visit, 1,3, 6 & 12 Months Follow-up]
As measured by Specular Microscope
 
Pre-operative visit, 1,3, 6 & 12 Months Follow-up 
 
Secondary Outcome

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   This is a prospective, comparative, open label, clinical study aimed  to evaluate the safety and efficay of two different 0.1% Riboflavin solutions used in corneal cross-linking treatment for patients with keratoconus.
 Flavin Isotonic Riboflavin Ophthalmic Solution 0.1%- Flavin (Biotech Ophthalmics Pvt. Ltd., India) will be compared with  Peschke® D Standard Riboflavin Solution (PESCHKE Trade GmbH, Switzerland). 100 Eyes of patients with unilateral or bilateral keratoconus will be randomized to receive treatment with either  Flavin or Peschke isotonic riboflavin 0.1% solutions, with 50 eyes in each group. 
Post operative follow up  will be conducted at  1,3, 6 & 12 Months and the clinical parameters evaluated between the two groups will be - uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity, refraction,  change in keratometry and corneal thickness  & endothelial cell count. Any adverse effects or post operative complications such as haze, corneal oedema, infection etc, will be immediately  reported to ethics committee and necessary steps  will be taken.
