Optical coherence elastograms of control and crosslinked rabbit corneas. Cooler colors (blues) indicate lower strains and correspond to greater relative stiffness. The uncrosslinked cornea (bottom) demonstrates a depth-dependent gradient of properties with greatest stiffness in the anterior stroma. A cornea treated with transepithelial UVA-riboflavin crosslinking with tetracaine as an irritative adjunct (top) shows greater stiffness than the control (from experiments described in [39]).
