Systems, Methods, and Compositions For Cross-Linking Treatments of an Eye

摘要

Systems, methods, and compositions generate cross-linking activity for treatment of eye disorders. Various agents, additives, buffers, etc., may be employed in formulations with a cross-linking agent to enhance treatment. For example, a composition for applying treatment to a cornea of an eye includes a cross-linking agent that generates cross-linking activity in the cornea in response to exposure to a photo-activating light. The composition also includes an iron additive and citrate buffer. In some cases, the cross-linking agent may include riboflavin. In other cases, the iron additive may include FeSO4. In further cases, the iron additive may be dissolved in the citrate buffer.
