摘要:
An improved methodology for the treatment of corneal abnormalities involving the application of a crosslinking solution, such as riboflavin, to the surface of the cornea followed by exposure to UV light such that the rigidity of the cornea is increased and stabilized, the method improved by providing a transparent contact lens that is selectively etched to create areas on the lens that either preclude or reduce penetration of UV light, thereby eliminating or reducing crosslinking for areas of the cornea that do not require stabilization while allowing penetration of UV light to areas of the cornea that do require stabilization.
