          Abstract

          Collagen crosslinking of the cornea has been developed recently as a quasiconservative treatment of keratoconus. Biomechanical in vitro measurements have demonstrated a significant increase in biomechanical stiffness of the crosslinked cornea. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of this new procedure on the collagen fiber diameter of the rabbit cornea.
