We disclose a theranostic device for performing image‐guided riboflavin/UV‐A corneal cross‐linking. The device determines treatment efficacy by real time monitoring of riboflavin concentration in the corneal stroma. The study shows efficacy of the device in eye bank human donor tissues.
Further details can be found in the article by Giuseppe Lombardo et al. (e201800028)
Keratoconus is the primary cause of corneal transplantation in young adults worldwide. Riboflavin/UV‐A corneal cross‐linking may effectively halt the progression of keratoconus if an adequate amount of riboflavin enriches the corneal stroma and is photo‐oxidated by UV‐A light for generating additional cross‐linking bonds between stromal proteins and strengthening the biomechanics of the weakened cornea...
