1. The Products 1 – Solution for trans-epithelial cross-linking (CXL-TE)
2 – Therapeutical eye drops for cross-linking induced by solar light
3 – OTC eye drops for lubricating, trophism of conjunctival corneal surface and shielding inner structures of eyeballs against U.V. rays
The three products contain riboflavin (vit. B2) and other substances and are disclosed in the international patent application WO2011012557
2. OBJECTIVE OF THE TREATMENT: strenghtening the corneal stroma by forming covalent bonds between collagen fibrillae
Disepithelization technique
Corneal disepithelization
Soaking the stroma with a riboflavin based solution for 30 minutes (applied on the cornea without epithelium)
Irradiation with U.V. 370 nm for 30 minutes
Transepithelial technique
No preliminary removal of the corneal epithelium
Soaking the stroma for two hours with Ricrolin TE
Soaking the stroma for 20 minutes with Novel Solution
Irradiation with U.V. 370 nm for 30 minutes

7. 2. Therapeutic eye drops for cross-linking induced by natural solar light medical device
Use after CXL treatment for keeping and enhancing the stabilization of keratoconus and of other ectasic pathologies of the cornea
Unique product in the world for preventing a possible reduction of effectiveness of the treatment during the years by using solar light (natural U.V.)
8. 3. OTC eye drops medical device Optimal lubrication of eye surface
Trophic and shield effect for corneal epithelium
Unique product in the world adapted to protect inner structures of eyeballs and to prevent cataract and maculopathy due to natural U.V. and to blue hazard (sea, snow, VDT, artificial light)
Long lasting effectiveness due to the absorption of the product in the cornea, not washed away by tears (unique effect in the world)
