Panel A and panel B each display a five-row time-course series of rabbit eyes treated with GelMA/HA-NB/LAP (A) and GelMA/HA-NB/LAP plus lenticules (B) at one day to five weeks post-operation, showing two color images under visible light, one fluorescence image, and one optical coherence tomography cross-section per row, documenting corneal healing progression. — Postoperative evaluation of corneal stromal defect repair using hydrogel alone or in combination with implanted lenticules. (A) Hydrogel group: Rabbit corneas were assessed in series at postoperative day 1 and weeks 2, 3, 4, and 5 (from left to right) via slit-lamp examination (diffuse and slit illumination), sodium fluorescein staining, and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT). (B) Hydrogel‑lenticules combination therapy group: The evaluation time points and methodologies were identical to those described for group (A).
