Abstract

Riboflavin-ultraviolet A scleral collagen cross-linking can enhance the strength of collagen fibers, delay the growth of animal eye axial length, and thus prevent the progress of pathological myopia. The main factors affecting the effect of riboflavin-ultraviolet A scleral collagen cross-linking are ultraviolet, riboflavin and sclera. Excessive ultraviolet can damage retina and other intraocular structures. Excessive riboflavin concentration can weaken the cross-linking. A thin sclera can not block the damage of ultraviolet radiation on intraocular structures. (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2019, 43: 180-183) Key words: ultraviolet light A; riboflavin; scleral collagen cross-linking; pathological myopia
