Keratoconus and other corneal ectatic disorders involve the degradation of collagen fibers, which compromises the corneal biomechanical properties. Ultraviolet-A (UVA) crosslinking has emerged as the primary treatment to slow down collagen degradation. This treatment is limited in both penetration depth and spatial precision, potentially leading to unwanted side effects. This study compares the changes in biomechanical properties of corneas crosslinked with UVA irradiation and a near-infrared femtosecond laser, using Brillouin microscopy. The biomechanical properties of the crosslinked regions were mapped in terms of Brillouin frequency shift in three dimensions. UVA crosslinking showed an average increase in Brillouin frequency shift of ~100 MHz. We demonstrate targeted spatial and axial corneal femtosecond crosslinking, with similar Brillouin frequency shift values to UVA in crosslinked regions.
