This study investigated a theranostic‐guided UV‐A light corneal wavefront photo‐reshaping technique in human eyes using an integrated system for spatially patterned delivery of riboflavin. Results showed consistent corneal steepening, reduced spherical aberration, and smooth wavefront shaping, with unchanged optical quality, suggesting potential ...

Individual Risk Assessment and Prognostication of Outcomes After Corneal Cross‐Linking
Background and Objective: Corneal collagen cross‐linking (CXL) is a treatment which arrests keratoconus (KC) progression, but its effectiveness differs radically among patients. Herein, we report preoperative diagnostic findings that reflect CXL outcomes and allow physicians to prognosticate treatment efficiency.

Corneal Epithelial Thickness Mapping: A Major Review
The corneal epithelium (CE) is the outermost layer of the cornea with constant turnover, relative stability, remarkable plasticity, and compensatory properties to mask alterations in the underlying stroma. The advent of quantitative imaging modalities capable of producing epithelial thickness mapping (ETM) has made it possible to characterize better ...
