Abstract:Purpose
Validation of the feasibility of novel acoustic radiation force optical coherence elastography (ARF-OCE) for the evaluation of biomechanical enhancement of the in vivo model of keratoconus by clinical cross-linking (CXL) surgery.
Methods
Twelve in vivo rabbit corneas were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups were treated with collagenase type II, and a keratoconus model was obtained. Then, the two groups were treated with CXL procedures with different i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
