Corneal absorption of a new riboflavin-nanostructured system for transepithelial collagen cross-linking.

Corneal absorption of a new riboflavin-nanostructured system for transepithelial collagen cross-linking.

Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) has been described as a promising therapy for keratoconus.
