The cornea is a highly specialized organ that relies on its mechanical stiffness to maintain its
aspheric geometry and refractive power, and corneal diseases such as keratoconus have …

The objective of this study was to extend an ultrasound surface wave elastography (USWE)
technique for noninvasive measurement of ocular tissue elastic properties. In particular, we …

INTRODUCTION: Elastic modulus estimation may be an important clinical criterion, as it
seems to affect such eye parameters as intraocular pressure, ocular pulsation, blood flow …

Clinical measurement of corneal biomechanics can aid in the early diagnosis, progression
tracking, and treatment evaluation of ocular diseases. Over the past two decades …

Assessment of corneal biomechanics for pre-and post-refractive surgery is of great clinical
importance. Corneal biomechanics affect vision quality of human eye. Many factors affect …

Background Primary open-angle glaucoma is a multifactorial serious disease characterized
by progressive retinal ganglion cell death and loss of visual field. Objectives The purposes …

Acoustic wave velocity measurement based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a
promising approach to assess the mechanical properties of biological tissues and soft …

Corneal stiffness plays a critical role in shaping the cornea with respect to intraocular
pressure and physical interventions. However, it remains difficult to measure the mechanical …

Retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), are the leading cause
of blindness in the elderly population. Since no known cures are currently present, it is …

Corneal mechanical changes are believed to occur before any visible structural alterations
observed during routine clinical evaluation. This study proposed developing an …
