Biomechanical Simulation of Stress Concentration and Intraocular Pressure in Corneas Subjected to Myopic Refractive Surgical Procedures. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractRecent advances in the analysis of corneal biomechanical properties remain difficult to predict the structural stability before and after refractive surgery. In this regard, we applied the finite element method (FEM) to determine the roles of the Bowman’s membrane, stroma, and Descemet’s membrane in the hoop stresses of cornea, under tension ...

Review of Corneal Endothelial Specular Microscopy for FDA Clinical Trials of Refractive Procedures, Surgical Devices, and New Intraocular Drugs and Solutions [PDF]
Cornea, 2008 Specular microscopy can provide a noninvasive morphologic analysis of the corneal endothelial cell layer from subjects enrolled in clinical trials. The analysis provides a measure of the endothelial cell physiologic reserve from aging, ocular surgical procedures, pharmaceutical exposure, and general health of the corneal endothelium.
