Molecular processes of corneal collagen cross-linking in keratoconus therapy

Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) with riboflavin and UVA light is a therapeutic procedure to restore the mechanical stability of corneal tissue. The treatment method applies to pathological tissue changes, such as keratoconus. It induces the photochemical formation of new collagen cross-links. A...
