Summary We show the potential of Scheimpflug‐based tomographic indices for indication and postoperative monitoring of corneal collagen cross‐linking (CXL) performed in progressive keratoconus. The value of tomographic indices for validation of corneal flattening after CXL in the long term is being discussed. In addition, we will focus on keratoconus index (KI) and index of height asymmetry (IHA) provided by the Pentacam, which have been established in clinical routine for monitoring of the long‐term stabilization effect of CXL on the corneal architecture.
