Blog - Corneal crosslinking Crosslinking involves the use of a vitamin B2 eye drop (riboflavin) combined with ultraviolet light treatment to strengthen the cornea. Riboflavin is a naturally occurring nutrient that can be found in many foods such as almonds, milk, rice, grains, and eggs. Due to its bright yellow colour, riboflavin is a common colouring agent used in energy drinks, ice cream, soups and other foods. The riboflavin used for corneal crosslinking is a medical-grade product that is formulated for use on the eye. Several different formulations of riboflavin are available to provide optimal treatment for a range of corneas. https://www.jamesandeye.co.nz/blog/intracorneal-ring-segments monthly 0.5 2023-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f84ca560c74e907b8b7e405/e1a0cc7a-8623-4b9e-ab9b-ecf9028864e3/ICRS.jpg James McKelvie, Specialist Eye Surgeon.
