| Abstract: | We disclose a theranostic device for performing image‐guided riboflavin/UV‐A corneal cross‐linking. The device determines treatment efficacy by real time monitoring of riboflavin concentration in the corneal stroma. The study shows efficacy of the device in eye bank human donor tissues. Further details can be found in the article by Giuseppe Lombardo et al. ( e201800028 )  |
