After incision, the tip of each device was inserted into the anterior chamber and activated for 30 seconds. Following euthanasia and enucleation, the corneas were removed, stained with trypan blue/alizarin red, and photographed in a standardized manner (five X400 magnification photos from the center of each cornea).
