Corneal Collagen Ordering After In Vivo Rose Bengal and Riboflavin Cross-Linking

PURPOSE: Photoactivated cornea collagen cross-linking (CXL) increases corneal stiffness by initiating formation of covalent bonds between stromal proteins. Because CXL depends on diffusion to distribute the photoinitiator, a gradient of CXL efficiency with depth is expected that may affect the degre...
