Agents for corneal collagen cross-linking are specialized ophthalmic photoenhancers, primarily formulated as topical riboflavin (vitamin B2) solutions, used in combination with controlled ultraviolet-A (UVA) irradiation to strengthen corneal architecture.
When exposed to UVA light, these agents photosensitize the production of reactive oxygen species that induce covalent bonding between adjacent collagen fibrils and proteoglycans in the corneal stroma, biomechanically stabilizing and stiffening the tissue.
Clinically, these agents are indicated to arrest disease progression in patients with progressive keratoconus or corneal ectasia occurring after refractive surgery.
