AIM: To evaluate the long-term impact of accelerated corneal cross-linking (A-CXL) on selected refractive and topographical parameters in eyes with progressive keratoconus. METHODS: 77 eyes with keratoconus in 54 patients treated with A-CXL (10 min "epi-off" protocol) were included in the analysis. Preoperative and postoperative (1, 3 and 5 years after A-CXL) values of the studied parameters were compared. RESULTS: In the cohort, there was an improvement in best corrected central visual acuity (BCCVA) 1 year (p = 0.004) and 3 years (p.
