Flexible Optical Waveguides for Uniform Periscleral Cross-Linking
Kwok, Sheldon J. J.,Kim, Moonseok,Lin, Harvey H.,Seiler, Theo G.,Beck, Eric,Shao, Peng,Kochevar, Irene E.,Seiler, Theo,Yun, Seok-Hyun The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthal 2017 Investigative ophthalmology & visual science Vol.58 No.5
<P><B>Purpose</B></P><P>Scleral cross-linking (SXL) with a photosensitizer and light is a potential strategy to mechanically reinforce the sclera and prevent progressive axial elongation responsible for severe myopia. Current approaches for light delivery to the sclera are cumbersome, do not provide uniform illumination, and only treat a limited area of sclera. To overcome these challenges, we developed flexible optical waveguides optimized for efficient, homogeneous light delivery.</P><P><B>Methods</B></P><P>Waveguides were fabricated from polydimethylsiloxane elastomer. Blue light (445 nm) is coupled into the waveguide with an input fiber. Light delivery efficiency from the waveguide to scleral tissue was measured and fit to a theoretical model. SXL was performed on fresh porcine eyes stained with 0.5% riboflavin, using irradiances of 0, 25, and 50 mW/cm<SUP>2</SUP> around the entire equator of the eye. Stiffness of scleral strips was characterized with tensiometry.</P><P><B>Results</B></P><P>Light delivery with a waveguide of tapered thickness (1.4–0.5 mm) enhanced the uniformity of light delivery, compared to a flat waveguide, achieving a coefficient of variation of less than 10%. At 8% strain, sclera cross-linked with the waveguides at 50 mW/cm<SUP>2</SUP> for 30 minutes had a Young's modulus of 10.7 ± 1.0 MPa, compared to 5.9 ± 0.5 MPa for no irradiation, with no difference in stiffness between proximally and distally treated halves. The stiffness of waveguide-irradiated samples did not differ from direct irradiation at the same irradiance.</P><P><B>Conclusions</B></P><P>We developed flexible waveguides for periscleral cross-linking. We demonstrated efficient and uniform stiffening of a 5-mm-wide equatorial band of scleral tissue.</P>
