          Abstract

          In animal eyes, a significant increase in corneal biomechanical stiffness has been found after collagen crosslinking by combined riboflavin/ultraviolet-A (UVA) treatment. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of riboflavin/UVA-induced collagen crosslinking for bringing the progression of keratoconus to a halt.
