Changes in the Biomechanical Properties of Corneal Stromal Lens after Collagen Crosslinking Induced by EDC-NHS by Rong Shi, Lijing Wang, Chengpeng Liang, Yu Cheng, Tai Xiang Liu, Xin Luo

“…Results. (1) Lenticule apex displacement ranked: control Group > UVA Group > Group (5%/5%) > Group (5%/2.5%) > Group (10%/5%) (Friedman test, p<0.0001). (2) Light transmittance was significantly higher in the crosslinked groups versus control, with EDC/NHS superior to UVA riboflavin. After 15 minutes in PBS, light transmittance decreased due to swelling; however, crosslinked groups maintained significantly higher transmittance versus control. (3) Following crosslinking, enzymatic resistance improved significantly, with the EDC-NHS crosslinking group was significantly better than the UVA cross-linking group. …”
