The study of corneal biomechanics is motivated by the tight relationship between
biomechanical properties and visual function within the ocular system. For instance …

Purpose To describe the epidemiology and prevalence, rates of progression, difference
between adult and pediatric populations, and therapeutic approaches to pediatric …

Keratoconus (KCN) is an ectatic disorder with progressive corneal thinning and a clinical
picture of corneal protrusion, progressive irregular astigmatism, corneal fibrosis and visual …

Glaucoma is a progressive and chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by
damage to the inner layers of the retina and deformation of the optic nerve head. The …

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 …

PURPOSE: To report refractive, topographic, aberrometric, and tomographic outcomes 24
months after corneal cross-linking (CXL) in patients up to 18 years of age with progressive …

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