Photochemical activation with Rose Bengal and green light (RB-PCL) was introduced.
We explored the effect of RB-PCL induced corneal cross-linking in porcine cornea.
RB-PCL increased corneal strength and resistance against collagenase digestion.
The diffusion depth of RB into porcine cornea was approximately 150 渭m.
The pros and cons of RB-PCL and UVA/riboflavin cross-linking technique are explored.
