Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for applying UV radiation to cross-link corneal collagen in the Corneal Collagen Cross-linking (CXL) method, used in particular to prevent the onset and progression of corneal ectasia.
  • CXL Corneal Collagen Cross-linking
  • Corneal Collagen Cross-linking is a minimally invasive method to prevent the onset and progression of corneal ectasia, such as keratoconus and ectasia after LASIK or other corneal refractive surgery.
  • the ability of collagen fibrils to form chemical bonds with neighbouring fibrils is referred to as cross-linking.
  • collagen cross-linking occurs naturally with aging due to an oxidative deamination reaction in the end chains of collagen. This fact supports the hypothesis that corneal ectasia often progresses most rapidly in adolescence or early adulthood and tends to stabilize in later life.
  • the CXL procedure begins with applying a riboflavin (vitamin B2) solution to the eye's cornea or under the corneal flap (in the case of the LASIK Extra procedure). This step is followed by exposure to UV-A light, typically with a wavelength of 365 nm, for approximately 30 minutes or, in the case of using a higher-power UV-A source, for a shorter time.
  • UV-A light typically with a wavelength of 365 nm, for approximately 30 minutes or, in the case of using a higher-power UV-A source, for a shorter time.
  • riboflavin creates reactive oxygen species that induce the formation of covalent bonds both between collagen molecules and between collagen molecules and proteoglycans, which restores and preserves part of the cornea's mechanical strength.
  • the epithelial layer of the cornea is generally removed to increase the penetration of riboflavin into the stroma, a procedure known as Epi-Off, which was used in the first published method of corneal CXL referred to as the Dresden Protocol.
  • Epi-Off a procedure known as Epi-Off
  • Trans-Epi pharmacological substances to weaken intraepithelial connections in order to increase the penetration of riboflavin through the epithelium.
  • CXL is the so-called accelerated CXL (aCXL), where a greater power of the UV-A emitter is used to shorten the irradiation time, as well as pulsed CXL, scleral CXL, adapted CXL, etc.
  • the unifying factor of these methods is that they always have the source of UV-A radiation located outside the cornea, typically perpendicularly above it, several to several tens of centimetres away ( Figure 1).
  • Complications of CXL and all its modifications include temporary stromal edema, epithelial damage, pain, haze, corneal scarring, infectious keratitis, and diffuse lamellar keratitis.
  • the device is intended for the innovative CXL method.
  • the principle of the innovation consists of the application of UV-A radiation intrastromally into the created corneal pocket, corneal tunnel, or under the corneal flap.
  • To improve the method's effectiveness it is possible to combine intrastromal UV-A radiation with the supply of oxygen to the corneal pocket, tunnel, or under the flap.
  • a pocket, tunnel, or flap is formed in the cornea.
  • Riboflavin is first applied to the created corneal pocket, tunnel, or under the flap and allowed to penetrate the stroma for a specified period of time. Then, UV-A radiation is applied to the created corneal pocket, tunnel, or under the corneal flap, oxygen might be introduced.
  • the device for the application of UV radiation to cross-link corneal collagen in the Corneal Collagen Cross-linking (CXL) method contains a source of UV-A radiation and a working end with a grip part and a shaped application end for the intrastromal application of UV radiation in the formed corneal pocket, corneal tunnel, or under the corneal flap.
  • CXL Corneal Collagen Cross-linking
  • the device can be supplemented by supplying oxygen to the corneal pocket, tunnel, or under the corneal flap through the openings of the application end of the working tip.
  • the working end with the shaped application end can be connected to an external source of UV-A radiation via an optical cable.
  • the source of UV -A radiation is integrated inside the grip part of the working end and is connected to an external power source via an electrical cable.
  • the device allows the radiation to be directed, e.g., either only toward the epithelium or the endothelium; -
  • the application of riboflavin inside the cornea enables more intense penetration;

  • Fig. 4 Different variants of shape of the working end.
  • the device for applying UV radiation to cross-link corneal collagen 6 in the corneal pocket 6a, tunnel, or under the corneal flap contains a source 1 of UV-A radiation and the working end 2 with the grip part 2b and the shaped application end 2a for the intrastromal application of UV radiation in the created corneal pocket 6a with a diameter of 1 to 10 mm, in the corneal pocket, under the corneal flap with a thickness of 80 to 400 pm and a diameter of 3 to 12 mm, or in the corneal tunnel for intracorneal rings or implants with a diameter of 3 to 11 mm and a width of 0.5 to 5 mm.

  • the working end 2 has a length of 10 to 250 mm and a diameter of 5 to 50 mm.
  • the shaped application end 2a of the working end 2 has the shape according to one of the variants a) to e) shown in Fig. 4, with the fact that its length is 5 to 50 mm and the maximum dimension x conditions the possibility of intrastromal application of UV radiation in the corneal pocket 6a, corneal tunnel, or under the corneal flap is 0.5 to 4 mm.
  • the circular disc on the application end 2a of the working end 2 can either be a part of the working end 2, or it can be separate so that the application end 2a of the working end 2 is inserted into it (shown in Fig. 4e) by a dashed line).
  • the device can also be supplemented by the supply of oxygen to the corneal pocket, tunnel, or under the corneal flap through the openings of the application end 2 and the working end 2 in the direction of the arrows 7 (see Fig. 4).
