Restoring corneal tissue strength for treatment of degenerative eye diseases
- 总结
- Although corneal collagen crosslinking is an effective method for treating degenerative eye diseases such as progressive myopia glaucoma, and keratoconus, current crosslinking methods are limited by poor tissue penetration, high potential for infection, and risk of damage to surrounding tissues. This technology is a method of crosslinking collagenous tissues using formaldehyde-releasing agents. This therapeutic approach can be used to restore corneal tissue strength while avoiding the risks associated with existing treatment methods.
