Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a method of altering the refractive properties of the eye, the method including applying a substance to a cornea of an eye, the substance configured to facilitate cross linking of the cornea, irradiating the cornea so as to activate cross linkers in the cornea, and altering the cornea so as to change the refractive properties of the eye.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of altering the refractive properties of the eye, said method comprising: forming a flap in a thin cornea that has a thickness of less than 480 microns, so as to expose one of the stroma and the Bowman's Layer of an eye; after forming the flap in the thin cornea, applying a liquid suspension having nano particles of riboflavin to the one of the stroma and the Bowman's Layer of the eye, the nano particles facilitating cross linking of the one of th…
