Measure
Active Treatment Arm
De-epithelialized corneas cross-linked with riboflavin 0.1% and dextran 20% solution AND ultraviolet A light (UVA Light Source). Riboflavin: Riboflavin, a water soluble vitamin, is an essential nutrient and a natural component of many foods. Dextran: Dextran is used to increase the viscosity of the solution. UVA Light Source: Avedro's KXL® System is a UVA irradiation system that uses a light emitting diode (LED) to deliver a dose of UVA light to a targeted treatment area for illuminating the cornea during corneal collagen cross-linking.
Control Treatment Arm
De-epithelialized corneas will be exposed to only riboflavin 0.1% with dextran 20% solution (NO ultraviolet A light). Riboflavin: Riboflavin, a water soluble vitamin, is an essential nutrient and a natural component of many foods. Dextran: Dextran is used to increase the viscosity of the solution.
