Understanding of the Viscoelastic Response of the Human Corneal Stroma Induced by Riboflavin/UV-A Cross-Linking at the Nano Level

PURPOSE: To investigate the viscoelastic changes of the human cornea induced by riboflavin/UV-A cross-linking using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) at the nano level. METHODS: Seven eye bank donor corneas were investigated, after gently removing the epithelium, using a commercial AFM in the force spec...
