    Abstract: An eye treatment positions a mask device over first and second eyes. A posterior side of the mask device is proximate to the face and the anterior side is distal from the face. The mask device includes an outer wall extending between the anterior and posterior sides and defining a chamber extending across the first and second eyes. The anterior side includes a first transmission region that allows a photoactivating light for the first eye to be delivered into a first section of the chamber positioned over the first eye. The anterior side includes a second transmission region that allows a photoactivating light for the second eye to be delivered into the second section positioned over the second eye. The system includes at least one gas source storing a gas that is different than ambient air. The system includes a gas delivery system that delivers the gas into the chamber.

    Abstract: An antimicrobial treatment system comprises a wearable photoactivation device. The wearable photoactivation device includes a body configured to be positioned on a head of a subject over one or more eyes of the subject. The body includes one or more windows or openings that allow the one or more eyes to see through the body. The body includes one or more photoactivating light sources coupled to the body and configured to direct photoactivating light to the one or more eyes according to illumination parameters. The illumination parameters determine a dose of the photoactivating light that activates, according to photochemical kinetic reactions, a photosensitizer applied to the one or more eyes and generates reactive oxygen species that provide an antimicrobial effect in the one or more eyes, without substantially inducing cross-linking activity that produces biomechanical changes in the one or more eyes.

    Abstract: A system for treatment of corneal tissue includes one or more light sources that generate excitation light delivered to corneal tissue treated with a cross-linking agent. The excitation light causes the cross-linking agent to fluoresce by emitting an emission light at a plurality of emission wavelengths. The system includes an image capture system that captures image(s) of the corneal tissue. The image(s) indicate at least two of the emission wavelengths. The system includes a controller that receives the image(s). The controller: identifies each of the at least two emission wavelengths in the image(s); determines, from the image(s), respective characteristics associated separately with each of the at least two emission wavelengths; and provides information relating to cross-linking activity generated by the cross-linking agent in the corneal tissue based on the respective characteristics associated with each of the at least two emission wavelengths.

    Abstract: Embodiments apply a cross-linking agent to a region of corneal tissue. The cross-linking agent improves the ability of the corneal tissue to resist undesired structural changes. For example, the cross-linking agent may be Riboflavin or Rose Bengal, and the initiating element may be photoactivating light, such as ultraviolet (UV) light. In these embodiments, the photoactivating light initiates cross-linking activity by irradiating the applied cross-linking agent to release reactive oxygen radicals in the corneal tissue. The cross-linking agent acts as a sensitizer to convert O2 into singlet oxygen which causes cross-linking within the corneal tissue. The rate of cross-linking in the cornea is related to the concentration of O2 present when the cross-linking agent is irradiated with photoactivating light. Accordingly, the embodiments control the concentration of O2 during irradiation to increase or decrease the rate of cross-linking and achieve a desired amount of cross-linking.

    Abstract: A method for controlling activation of a cross-linking agent applied to an eye includes applying the cross-linking agent to a selected region of a cornea of the eye and initiating cross-linking activity in the selected region by activating the cross-linking agent with pulsed light illumination. The pulsed light illumination has a selectable wavelength, irradiance, dose, and on/off duty cycle. The wavelength, the irradiance, the dose, and the on/off duty cycle are adjusted in response to a determination of photochemical kinetic pathways for cross-linking activity and to control photochemical efficiency, depth of cross-linking, and density of cross-linking.
