Corneal Biomechanics: A Paradigm shift in Studying Corneal Pathology

Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017
Biomechanics links corneal structure to its function. An area of intense research, corneal biomechanics can distinguish normal from ectatic corneas and has applications in various fields including cataract surgery, intraocular pressure measurement and ...

Corneal biomechanics for corneal ectasia

Saudi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022
Knowledge of biomechanical principles has been applied in several clinical conditions, including correcting intraocular pressure measurements, planning and following corneal treatments, and even allowing an enhanced ectasia risk evaluation in refractive procedures.

Goldmann Tonometry and Corneal Biomechanics [PDF]

Applied Sciences, 2021
Glaucoma is the second cause of irreversible blindness in the world. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a recognized major risk factor for the development and progression of glaucomatous damage. Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) is internationally accepted as the gold standard for the measurement of IOP.

Biomechanics of corneal ectasia and biomechanical treatments [PDF]

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2014
Many algorithms exist for the topographic/tomographic detection of corneas at risk for post-refractive surgery ectasia. It is proposed that the reason for the difficulty in finding a universal screening tool based on corneal morphologic features is that curvature, elevation, and pachymetric changes are all secondary signs of keratoconus and post ...

Corneal and scleral biomechanics in ophthalmic diseases: An updated review

Medicine in Novel Technology and Devices, 2022
Corneal and scleral biomechanical properties have important implications in the maintenance of normal ocular morphology and function. The cornea and sclera compose the outermost layer of the eyeball, forming a sphere with a certain degree of intraocular ...

Advanced Surface Ablation in Mild (Fruste) Keratoconus: A Case Report

Ophthalmology and Therapy, 2020
Corneal ectasia is a complication of refractive surgery, and keratoconus is a contraindication to this type of procedure. Surface ablation may be an option for selected cases of mild keratoconus, with patient education being fundamental to this treatment

Corneal biomechanics and diagnostics: a review. [PDF]

Int Ophthalmol
Abstract Purpose Corneal biomechanics is an emerging field and the interest into physical and biological interrelations in the anterior part of the eye has significantly increased during the past years. There are many factors that determine corneal biomechanics such as hormonal fluctuations, hydration and ...
