Conjunctival Leaking Bleb after Cross-Linking using Ribofl avin and UVA: A Histopathological Study
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Research and Ophthalmology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Two conjunctival leaking blebs were excisioned to assess by histological methods the cellular effect after corneal cross-linking treatment. Sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemistry with the Ki67 antibody. The proliferating marker Ki67 was detected only in both treated pieces with a very significant increase in epithelial proliferating cells in one case but not in the other. Further studies are necessary to continue understanding the response to treatment of the ischemic blebs with CXL and riboflavin.
