An in vitro investigation into the impact of corneal rinsing on riboflavin/UVA corneal cross-linking

Abstract Background Corneal cross-linking (CXL) using riboflavin and ultraviolet-A light (UVA) is a treatment used to prevent progression of keratoconus. This ex vivo study assesses the impact on CXL effectiveness, as measured by tissue enzymatic resistance and confocal microscopy, of including a pr...
