Spectral distribution of absolute transmittance from corneal stromal A- and R-SLATEs bio-fabricated on PA templates. A) Transmittance of light between 300 and 1050 nm measured from A- and R-SLATEs (black and red line, respectively). Detailed profiles of transmittance at B) 300–380 nm (near-UV), C) visible light (380–780 nm), and D) near-IR (780–1050 nm). Quantification (average ± S.D.) was performed from three individual measurements per sample, from four independent samples (n = 12).
