it has been demonstrated that the area of the cornea that would be more hardened with said procedure are the most superficial 200<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>&#956;m&#44; as this is the area with the largest diffusion of riboflavin and therefore comprising the majority of induced chemical reactions&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0435"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a></p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The standard technique has been named as &#8220;The Dresden Protocol&#8221;&#44;

that states that a photochemical reaction would remain constant is the total energy is constant&#46; This means that&#44; lower irradiation times with higher intensity irradiation should induce the same degree of biostructural changes than longer exposure times at lower intensities&#46; It has been proposed that this type of variant could be safe and yield adequate biomechanical results&#44; even in thin corneas&#46; However&#44; additional studies are needed to determine the long-term effects of accelerated CXL as well as the standardization in the time and irradiation levels of the intervention&#46;</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Recently it has been proposed to substitute riboflavin with Bengal rose ultraviolet irradiation coupled to 532<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>nm green light irradiation<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0495"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span></a> with apparently optimistic results suggesting higher hardening effect of corneal tissue in animal models&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0500"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span></a> For this proposal&#44;
