• Sequential same-day excimer laser treatment followed immediately by corneal crosslinking is presented as a way to combine visual rehabilitation with biomechanical stabilization in keratoconus.
• The combined approach is framed as avoiding a second epithelial defect when photorefractive keratectomy is performed later after an epithelium-off crosslinking procedure.
• Published sequential approaches are noted to have at least 12 months of follow-up data.

• No direct concept-to-concept edges are published yet.
