Keratoconus is a degenerative eye disease which causes corneal thinning. The disease causes visual distortions & loss of vision, and is commonly treated with Corneal Cross-Linking. This involves scraping off the outer protective layer of the cornea so that treatment can be applied. This is painful for patients and carries many risks. This grant assists in the development of a device that is able to deliver the reagent in a painless, non-invasive, effective and safe way.

圆锥角膜是一种退行性眼病，会导致角膜变薄。这种疾病会导致视觉扭曲和失明，通常使用角膜交联术进行治疗。这包括刮掉角膜的外层保护层，以便进行治疗。这对患者来说是痛苦的，并带有许多风险。这笔赠款帮助开发一种能够以无痛、非侵入性、有效和安全的方式输送试剂的设备。
