Safety and long-term scleral biomechanical stability of rhesus eyes after scleral cross-linking by blue light.

Conclusion: This study demonstrates that blue light scleral CXL could effectively increase the scleral stiffness of the rhesus eye for at least 1 year, but ultrastructural change was still observed in the retina of scleral CXL eye. Therefore, the long-term intraocular safety of the blue light scleral CXL technique for preventing myopia progression should be investigated further.
