Corneal biomechanical properties at different corneal cross-linking (CXL) irradiances.

PURPOSE New corneal cross-linking (CXL) devices are capable of using higher UV-A light irradiances than used in original CXL protocols. The Bunsen-Roscoe law states that a photochemical reaction should stay constant if the delivered total energy is kept constant; however, little clinical data are available to support this hypothesis. METHODS We investigated the biomechanical properties of fou...

Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking Outcomes: Review

Keratoconus is a condition characterized by biomechanical instability of the cornea, presenting in a progressive, asymmetric and bilateral way. Corneal collagen cross-linking with riboflavin and UVA (CXL) is a new technique of corneal tissue strengthening that combines the use of riboflavin as a photo sensitizer and UVA irradiation. The studies showed that CXL was effective in halting the progr...

Cross-Linking of Corneal Collagen with UVA and Riboflavin for the Treatment of Corneal Disease

Introduction In recent years, reduced corneal biomechanics have been identified as an important element in the pathogenesis of various corneal diseases. The biomechanical characteristics of a connective tissue such as strength and resistance against mechanical stress are indispensable prerequisites to maintain regular shape and function of that tissue. Intraand intermolecular cross-links betwee...

The mystery of collagen cross-linking when it comes to in vivo biomechanical measurements.

To the Editor: Bak-Nielsen et al. recently reported on the dynamic assessment of keratoconus and the effects of corneal cross-linking (CXL).1 The authors described the corneal deformation during rapidly applied force via an air jet using ultra high-speed Scheimpflug technology (Corvis ST; Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany).1 Patients with both untreated and CXL-treated keratoconus were ...

In vivo biomechanical changes after corneal collagen cross-linking for keratoconus and corneal ectasia: 1-year analysis of a randomized, controlled, clinical trial.

PURPOSE To investigate the in vivo, corneal, biomechanical changes after corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) using the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) in patients with keratoconus and post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) ectasia. METHODS Single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled, clinical trial. After CXL (69 eyes, 46 keratoconus and 23 post-LASIK), corneal hysteresis (CH) and c...
