Brillouin microscopy of collagen crosslinking: noncontact depth-dependent analysis of corneal elastic modulus.
PURPOSE Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) is designed to halt the progression of keratoconus and corneal ectasia by inducing corneal stiffening. However, it currently is difficult to monitor and evaluate CXL outcome objectively due to the lack of suitable methods to characterize corneal mechanical properties. We validated noncontact Brillouin microscopy to quantify corneal mechanical properti...
متن کاملA histological study of rabbit corneas after transepithelial corneal crosslinking using partial epithelial photoablation or ethanol treatment.
AIM To evaluate the histological changes after transepithelial corneal crosslinking (CXL) using partial thickness excimer laser ablation or epithelial ethanol application in an experimental rabbit study. METHODS Right eyes of twenty-four rabbits were studied. Four eyes received total epithelial debridement (group I). Four eyes received partial thickness epithelial ablation with excimer laser ...
متن کاملCorneal sensitivity and nerve regeneration after excimer laser ablation.
We studied the recovery of corneal sensitivity and corneal regeneration after excimer laser and manual epithelial debridement. The corneal epithelia of right eyes of New Zealand white rabbits (n = 21) were manually debrided and the corneal epithelia of the left eyes were ablated with the excimer laser (47 mm depth, 5 Hz, and 160 mJ/cm2). The relative density of innervation on the intraepithelia...
متن کاملEffect of complete epithelial debridement before riboflavin-ultraviolet-A corneal collagen crosslinking therapy.
PURPOSE To evaluate the importance of complete epithelial removal before riboflavin-ultraviolet-A (UVA) corneal collagen crosslinking therapy. SETTING School of Optometry and Vision Sciences, Cardiff University, Wales, United Kingdom. METHODS Riboflavin eyedrops were applied at 5-minute intervals for 35 minutes to the anterior corneal surface of 36 porcine eyes (12 with no epithelial trauma...

PURPOSE To determine the natural history of collagen crosslinking (CXL)-associated corneal haze measured by Scheimpflug imagery and slitlamp biomicroscopy in patients with keratoconus or ectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis. SETTING Cornea and refractive surgery subpecialty practice, United States. DESIGN Prospective randomized controlled clinical trial. METHODS The treatment group ...
