Measure
Riboflavin 0.1% Eyedrops Every 5 Minutes
The eye will be irradiated for 30 minutes with UVX light, during which the instillation of riboflavin will continue (1 drop every 5 minutes for this arm). Riboflavin: Riboflavin 0.1% eye drops are applied before and during irradiation of the cornea. UVX light: UVX 365 nm wavelength light source is applied with continued application of riboflavin.
Riboflavin 0.1% Eyedrops Every 2 Minutes
The eye will be irradiated for 30 minutes with UVX light, during which the instillation of riboflavin will continue (1 drop every 2 minutes for this arm). Riboflavin: Riboflavin 0.1% eye drops are applied before and during irradiation of the cornea. UVX light: UVX 365 nm wavelength light source is applied with continued application of riboflavin.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Per protocol

Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) reported in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR). Lower numbers represent better vision; 0.0 corresponds to 20/20 vision. Each increase of 0.1 on the logMAR scale corresponds to one less line read on the eye chart.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Per protocol

Uncorrected distance visual acuity reported in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution units. Lower numbers represent better vision; 0.0 corresponds to 20/20 vision without any type of correction such as glasses. Each increase of 0.1 on the logMAR scale corresponds to one less line read on the eye chart.
