To use Brillouin microscopy to quantify corneal mechanical changes induced by CXL procedures of different UV-A intensity and exposure time. University of Maryland, College Park, MD Laboratory Study Porcine cornea samples were debrided of epithelia and soaked with 0.1% riboflavin solution. Next, the samples were exposed to a clinically-standard 5.4 J/cm2 of UV-A radiation with varying intensity and exposure time: 3 mW/cm2 for 30 minutes, 9 mW/cm2 for 10 minutes, 34 mW/cm2 for 2.65 minutes, and 50 mW/cm2 for 1.80 minutes. Using Brillouin microscopy, the Brillouin modulus for each cornea sample was computed as a function of radiation intensity/exposure time. For validation, using a compressive stress-strain test, the Young’s Modulus was found and compared for each irradiation condition. The standard 3 mW/cm2 irradiance condition produced a significantly larger increase in corneal Brillouin modulus compared to the 9 (p ≤ 0.05), 34 (p ≤ 0.01), and 50 mW/cm2 conditions (p ≤ 0.01). Depth-analysis revealed similar anterior sections of the standard and 9 mW/cm2 conditions, but significantly less stiffening in the central and posterior of the 9 mW/cm2 sample than the standard. The stiffening of the standard protocol was significantly larger (p ≤ 0.01) in all sections of the 34 and 50 mW/cm2 conditions. For all samples, the overall change in Brillouin-derived Brillouin modulus correlated to the increase in Young’s Modulus (R2 = 0.98). Although the UV-A light dose was kept constant, accelerating the irradiation process decreased the effectiveness of CXL stiffening. Specifically, Brillouin analysis reveals that accelerated protocols are especially ineffective in the deeper portions of the cornea.
