Collagen crosslinking is a medical procedure that uses ultraviolet A (UVA) or visible light in combination with riboflavin or other photosensitizing agents to enhance the natural crosslinks between collagen fibers. This treatment strengthens and stabilizes the cornea, improving its structure and reducing the progression of keratoconus. It may also be used for presbyopia or refractive errors.
