Crosslinking of scleral collagen in the rabbit using glyceraldehyde

Glyceraldehyde crosslinking of scleral collagen increased the scleral biomechanical rigidity efficiently. Glyceraldehyde can be easily applied by sequential parabulbar injections. There were no side effects on the retina, so the new method might become a treatment modality for strengthening scleral tissue to prevent progressive myopia.
