The role and importance of mechanical properties of cells and tissues in cellular function,
development and disease has widely been acknowledged, however standard techniques …

We discuss new approaches to the early detection of keratoconus and recent investigations
regarding the nature of its pathophysiology. We review the current evidence for its complex …

Keratoconus is the most common primary ectasia. It usually occurs in the second decade of
life and affects both genders and all ethnicities. The estimated prevalence in the general …

Purpose: This study aims to introduce and clinically validate a new algorithm that can
determine the biomechanical properties of the human cornea in vivo. Methods: A parametric …

Background The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative corneal biomechanical
properties between small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and other corneal refractive …

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 …

Drs. Paul L. Kaufman, Albert Alm, Leonard A Levin, Siv FE Nilsson, James Ver Hoeve, and
Samuel Wu present the 11th Edition of the classic text Adler's Physiology of the Eye …

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 …

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