Figure Legend:
Histological analysis of the central cornea at 30 days after CXL. Control conditions virgin (A) and riboflavin-only (B) had no significant morphological alterations. Medium-fluence CXL (2.7 J/cm2) reduced epithelial thickness, but maintained corneal transparency (C). Low-fluence CXL (≤0.18 J/cm2) showed corneal haze and neovascularization (small arrows) due to strong immunological reactions (D–F). Standard-fluence CXL (5.4 J/cm2) showed severe corneal scarring (big arrows) and no or only very minor neovascularization (small arrows; G–J).
