When applied to the ocular surface, MHCP spontaneously releases adhesives at body temperature and forms a stable adhesion with the recipient cornea through photocuring. In addition to its inherent mechanical, optical, and ultrastructural characteristics, which are similar to those of the natural stroma, MHCP demonstrates excellent suture resistance, anti-swelling, and anti-degradation properties after curing. MHCP promotes the proliferation and migration of corneal epithelial cells in vitro and maintains the phenotype of corneal stromal cells. In vivo, MHCP maintains graft hydration and restores corneal structural integrity and transparency during penetrating keratoplasty of various sizes and sutureless lamellar keratoplasty.

This significantly hinders practical PTT application. Herein, three acceptor-donor-acceptor(A-D-A)-type molecules are synthesized based on cyclopentadithiophene unit to develop effective PTAs. By incorporating the large-size Si atom in the A-D-A molecules, the photosensitizer displays an increased packing distance in the aggregate state, leading to a blue-shifted absorption spectrum that better matches the medial laser wavelength. Also, the Si incorporation strategy elevates the nonradiative decay rate constants (k<sub>nr</sub>) of the A-D-A photosensitizer, and thereby a further enhancement in PCE is achieved for the PTA. Consequently, the SiO-4F-based nanoparticles exhibited 64.23% PCE, with excellent biosafety and photothermal stability. Under NIR irradiation with medical safety (808 nm, 0.33 W cm<sup>-2</sup>), SiO-4F nanoparticles with 100 µg mL<sup>-1</sup> yield a death rate of over 91% for diverse tumor cells.

The obtained TBNR with an appropriate size exhibits superior tumor accumulation and retention.
