Keratoconus is a bilateral and asymmetric disease which results in progressive thinning and
steeping of the cornea leading to irregular astigmatism and decreased visual acuity …

Purpose To review the literature on the etiopathogenesis of keratoconus (KC). Methods A
literature search was conducted using PUBMED and Google Scholar for keratoconus. The …

Recent studies have shown that alterations in corneal biomechanical properties are
associated with corneal pathologies, particularly corneal ectasia. Moreover, these …

Keratoconus (KC) is a corneal thinning disorder that leads to loss of visual acuity through
ectasia, opacity, and irregular astigmatism. It is one of the leading indicators for corneal …

Collagen fibrils are homogeneous in diameter and are aligned at a constant distance from
each other to maintain tissue transparency. Keratocytes are the resident cells of the stroma …

Background To compare the dynamic corneal response (DCR) and tomographic parameters
of thin normal cornea (TNC) with thinnest corneal thickness (TCT)(≤ 500 µm), forme fruste …

The optical and biomechanical properties of the cornea are largely governed by the
collagen-rich stroma, a layer that represents approximately 90% of the total thickness. Within …

The objective of this study was to evaluate which hyperelastic model could best describe the
non-linear mechanical behavior of the cornea, in order to characterize the capability of the …

Abstract Two-photon (2P) microscopy is a powerful tool for imaging and exploring label-free
biological tissues at high resolution. Although this type of microscopy has been …

Keratoconus is an eye disorder that causes the cornea to take an abnormal conical shape,
thus impairing its refractive functions and causing blindness. The late diagnosis of …
