Cornea Stiffening of Rabbit Corneas by the Bacteriochlorophyll Derivative WST 11 Using Near Infrared Light
semanticscholar(2012)
Abstract
METHODS. Corneas of post mortem rabbits and living rabbits were pretreated topically with 2.5 mg/mL WST11 in saline or in 20% dextran T-500 (WST-D), washed and illuminated with an NIR diode laser (755 nm, 10 mW/cm. Studies with corneas of untreated fellow eyes served as controls. Tensile strength measurements, histopathology, electron spin resonance, and optical spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy were used to assess treatment effects. Comparative studies were performed with standard riboflavin/ultravioletA light (UVA) treatment.
