Purpose: Scleral cross-linking (SXL) with ultraviolet A (UVA) and riboflavin has already been used in laboratory studies for scleral stiffness increase as a potential treatment for progressive myopia and scleral ectasia. This study aims to investigate whether the regional application of scleral cross-linking (SXL) with ultraviolet A (UVA) and riboflavin in fresh porcine eye globes affects the ocular rigidity as well as its impact on intraocular pressure after an induced acute increase in the volume of intraocular fluid.
Methods: The study included two groups of fresh porcine eyes: an experimental group (n=20) that underwent scleral cross-linking (SXL) with riboflavin and UVA applied to the posterior sclera and a control group (n=20) that did not receive SXL treatment.
