Impact of hypothermia on the biomechanical effect of epithelium-off corneal cross-linking
Abstract Background The corneal cross-linking (CXL) photochemical reaction is essentially dependent on oxygen and hypothermia, which usually leads to higher dissolved oxygen levels in tissues, with potentially greater oxygen availability for treatment. Here, we evaluate whether a reduction of cornea...
