Abstract
A method of mitigating the development of myopia, includes measuring elasticity of collagen of an eye; identifying an eye for which the elasticity measured is above a preselected threshold; selectively applying a collagen cross-linking reagent proximate collagen of a sclera of a posterior pole portion of the eye for which the elasticity measured is above the preselected threshold; and irradiating at least the posterior pole portion of the eye with radiation of an appropriate wavelength to initiate covalent bonding and cross-linking of the collagen for which the elasticity measured is above the preselected threshold.
