  • Publication number: 20240009031
    Abstract: A micro-device for corneal cross-linking treatment includes a body including an outer portion and an inner portion. The inner portion is coupled to the outer portion which is disposed about a periphery of the inner portion. When the body is against an eye surface, the outer portion contacts the eye surface and the inner portion defines a chamber over a cornea of the eye. The micro-device includes an illumination system including a micro-optical element and an optical fiber. The micro-optical element includes micro-LEDs configured to direct photoactivating light through the inner portion to the cornea of the eye when the body is positioned against the surface of the eye. The photoactivating light generates cross-linking activity with a cross-linking agent applied to the cornea. The optical fiber couples the micro-optical element to a light source and includes a surface configured to reflect the photoactivating light to the micro-optical element.
