Purpose: Several methods have been devised for measuring geometric parameters of the
cornea but, until now, the biomechanics of the cornea have been largely ignored. The …

This review looks at biomechanical concepts and misconceptions related to in vivo
assessment of corneal biomechanical response via air-puff deformation, including both …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the ability of a new combined biomechanical index called the Corvis
Biomechanical Index (CBI) based on corneal thickness profile and deformation parameters …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the influence of pachymetry, age, and intraocular pressure in
normal patients and to provide normative values for all dynamic corneal response …

There has been a recent surge of interest in assessing corneal biomechanical properties
due to potential clinical applications, particularly in the early detection of keratoconus (KC) …

Several refractive and therapeutic treatments as well as several ocular or systemic diseases
might induce changes in the mechanical resistance of the cornea. Furthermore, intraocular …

Biomechanics is often defined as 'mechanics applied to biology'. Due to the variety and
complexity of the behaviour of biological structures and materials, biomechanics is better …

Interest in corneal biomechanics has increased with the development of new refractive
surgery techniques aimed at modifying corneal properties and a variety of surgical options …

Biomechanics is the study of the relationship between forces and function in living
organisms and is thought to play a critical role in a significant number of ophthalmic …

Objectives Early identification of keratoconus is imperative for preventing iatrogenic corneal
ectasia and allowing for early corneal collagen cross-linking treatments to potentially halt …
