a Representative OCT images of rabbit corneas from different treatment groups. b Quantification of the normalized thickness of epithelium, stroma, and cornea thickness on Day 60. c Quantification of the roughness of the rabbit’s epithelium, stroma, and cornea on day 60. Data present mean ± SEM. n = 3 (Col and HA-Col UV groups), 4 (PBS group), or 5 (HA-Col group). Two-way ANOVA tests were used to calculate the p values. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. ***p < 0.001. HA is hyaluronic acid. Col is collagen. PBS is phosphate buffer solution. Graphs were created in GraphPad Prism 10.
