| abstract |
An apparatus for generating an alteration of biomechanical properties of ocular tissue, into which a photosensitiser ( 14 ) has been introduced, contains means ( 18, 20 ) for radiating into the tissue electromagnetic radiation ( 12 ′) which reacts with the photosensitiser for the purpose of generating a cross-linking. The setting means permit an inhomogeneous distribution of the irradiance in the tissue and a setting of the depth of action ( 16 ′). |
