Biomechanical Characterization of Human Corneal Lenticules

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2022
In surgical refractive interventions over-correction or under-correction still occur in 10-15 % of cases. Improved outcomes could be achieved by incorporating patient-specific corneal biomechanics into surgical planning.
