PURPOSE To determine the relative impact of contact lens- assisted corneal cross-linking (CACXL) and standard protocol CXL (CXL) on regional corneal stiffness using Brillouin microscopy. METHODS CXL and CACXL were performed on 30 intact fresh porcine eyes (15 per group). Depth profile of stiffness variation and averaged elastic modulus of anterior, middle, and posterior stroma were determined by Brillouin maps. Corneas were cut into strips to conduct mechanical stress-strain tests after Brillouin microscopy to evaluate stiffness difference between CXL and CACXL. Each eye served as its own control. RESULTS CXL had a greater impact on corneal stiffness, with a maximum increase of 5.74% compared to 3.99% for CACXL (P < .001). CXL increased longitudinal modulus by 7.8% in the anterior, 1.7% in the middle, and -0.7% in the posterior regions compared to CACXL, which increased longitudinal modulus by 5.5% in the anterior (P < .001), 1.2% in the middle (P = .15), and -0.4% in the posterior regions (P = .60). Mechanical stress-strain tests showed that at 10% strain averaged Young's modulus was 5 MPa for CXL and 2.97 MPa for CACXL (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Both CACXL and standard protocol CXL induced significant corneal stiffening primarily concentrated in the anterior cornea. CACXL leads to less stiffening compared with CXL. An attenuated but continuous stiffening effect can be observed through the whole cornea for both CACXL and CXL, although CACXL has a smaller stiffness gradient.

布里渊显微镜分析的深度依赖性降低接触镜辅助角膜交联的生物力学功效。

目的使用布里渊显微镜确定隐形眼镜辅助角膜交联(CACXL)和标准规程CXL(CXL)对区域角膜硬度的相对影响。方法对30只完整的新鲜猪眼进行CXL和CACXL试验(每组15只)。通过布里渊图确定刚度变化的深度分布以及前,中和后基质的平均弹性模量。布里渊显微镜检查后,将角膜切成条状以进行机械应力应变测试,以评估CXL和CACXL之间的刚度差异。每只眼睛都充当其自己的控件。结果CXL对角膜僵硬的影响更大,与CACXL的3.99%相比,最大增加了5.74%(P <.001)。CXL使前部的纵向模量增加7.8%,中部增加1.7%,而-0。与CACXL相比,后部区域的7%,前部的纵向模量增加了5.5%(P <.001),中部的纵向模量增加了1.2%(P = .15),后部的纵向模量增加了-0.4%(P = .60)。机械应力-应变测试表明,在10%应变下,CXL的平均杨氏模量为5 MPa,CACXL的平均杨氏模量为2.97 MPa(P <.001)。结论CACXL和标准方案CXL均引起明显的角膜硬化,主要集中在前角膜。与CXL相比,CACXL导致的硬化较少。尽管CACXL的刚度梯度较小,但在整个CACXL和CXL的整个角膜上都可以观察到衰减但连续的僵硬效果。[J Refract Surg。2019; 35(11):721-728。]。后部区域为4%(P = 0.60)。机械应力-应变测试表明,在10%应变下,CXL的平均杨氏模量为5 MPa,CACXL的平均杨氏模量为2.97 MPa(P <.001)。结论CACXL和标准方案CXL均引起明显的角膜硬化,主要集中在前角膜。与CXL相比,CACXL导致的硬化较少。尽管CACXL的刚度梯度较小,但在整个CACXL和CXL的整个角膜上都可以观察到衰减但连续的僵硬效果。[J Refract Surg。2019; 35(11):721-728。]。后部区域为4%(P = 0.60)。机械应力-应变测试表明,在10%应变下,CXL的平均杨氏模量为5 MPa,CACXL的平均杨氏模量为2.97 MPa(P <.001)。结论CACXL和标准方案CXL均引起明显的角膜硬化,主要集中在前角膜。与CXL相比,CACXL导致的硬化较少。尽管CACXL的刚度梯度较小,但在整个CACXL和CXL的整个角膜上都可以观察到衰减但连续的僵硬效果。[J Refract Surg。2019; 35(11):721-728。]。结论CACXL和标准方案CXL均引起明显的角膜硬化,主要集中在前角膜。与CXL相比,CACXL导致的硬化较少。尽管CACXL的刚度梯度较小,但在整个CACXL和CXL的整个角膜上都可以观察到衰减但连续的僵硬效果。[J Refract Surg。2019; 35(11):721-728。]。结论CACXL和标准方案CXL均引起明显的角膜硬化,主要集中在前角膜。与CXL相比,CACXL导致的硬化较少。尽管CACXL的刚度梯度较小,但在整个CACXL和CXL的整个角膜上都可以观察到衰减但连续的僵硬效果。[J Refract Surg。2019; 35(11):721-728。]。
