We concluded that the diagnosis of progressive keratoconus and the diagnostic equipment used are similar. Treatment strategies are also similar but are suitably different to provide an interesting basis for the comparison of treatment outcomes. The high degree of participation in this survey indicates the possibility of future scientific collaboration on CXL focusing on the areas deemed to need improvement. It would also be of interest to evaluate the possibility of creating a Nordic CXL Registry. The high number of CXL treatments performed ensures sufficient statistical power to solve many questions. Such a registry could be an important contribution to evidence-based care and would allow for longitudinal evaluation.
