Corneal cross linking with new beam profile
- 1. High intensity UV-CXL: advantages and limitations Michael Mrochen, PhD IROC AG Institut für Refraktive und Ophthalmo-Chirurgie Stockerstrasse 37 8002 Zürich WWW.IROC.CH
- 4. Two experimental setups: 1. Increase of Riboflavin concentration (0.05 – 0.5 %) 2. Decrease of treatment time (30 min - 9 min) Increase of UV intensity (3 and 10 mW / cm 2 , Constant energy dose) Primary outcome measure: Change in corneal stiffness / Young‘s modulus
- 9. Beam optimization for the prolate cornea • More corneal tissue is cross-linked • Improved corneal strength
- 12. Future perspective Gone in 60 seconds! Ultra-short fast CXL for corneal laser surgery. www.cxl-congress.org December 9 th and 10 th , 2011 in Zurich
Editor's Notes
- Assuming that the polymers before the treatment are evenly distributed throughout the cornea allows the assumption that the number of polymers before the treatment M0 is proportional to its thickness z0 (M0~z0)
