Abstract:
The present invention relates to altering the physical and/or chemical properties of at least part of at least one tissue in the eye. In a specific embodiment, it relates to the treatment and/or prevention of myopia. An activating energy source is utilized to photopolymerize or crosslink molecules in the sclera, thereby increasing the strength of the tissue. The individual is administered a crosslinking reagent or photopolymerizable molecule that becomes associated with the membrane, which is then precisely exposed to an energy source, such as light or ultrasound.

Abstract:
The disclosure concerns altering the mechanical and/or chemical property of a body tissue, particularly an ocular tissue. In specific cases, it concerns altering or stabilizing the shape of the cornea, such as in a subject suffering or at risk for ectasia or keratoconus. In other specific cases, it concerns strengthening the sclera in a subject suffering or at risk for myopia. The invention employs light irradiation of a photoactivatable compound, such as one that applies crosslinking to the tissue, for example.
There is provided in one embodiment of the disclosure a tissue adhesive composition comprising an engineered protein having repeated blocks of an elastin domain and at least one cell-binding domain and further comprising a polymer crosslinker. When the engineered protein and the polymer crosslinker are introduced onto a tissue, the engineered protein and the polymer crosslinker initiate an in situ crosslinking reaction to form an adhesive bond that is mechanically strong, transparent, biocompatible, and stimulates regrowth of one or more tissue layers over the adhesive bond. In another embodiment of the disclosure there is provided a molded corneal onlay and method of making the same.
