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 …

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 …

PURPOSE: To describe pachymetric progression indices (PPI) of the Pentacam HR (Oculus
Optikgeräte GmbH) and the concept of relational thickness, and to test their accuracy for …

Purpose In recent years, the interest in corneal biomechanics has strongly increased. The
material properties of the cornea determine its shape and therefore play an important role in …

Purpose.: Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) is designed to halt the progression of
keratoconus and corneal ectasia by inducing corneal stiffening. However, it currently is …

Purpose.: Loss of corneal strength is a central feature of keratoconus progression. However,
it is currently difficult to measure corneal mechanical changes noninvasively. The objective …

Corneal biomechanics has been a hot topic for research in contemporary ophthalmology
due to its prospective applications in diagnosis, management, and treatment of several …

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 examine the repeatability of measurements obtained using a noncontact
Scheimpflug-based tonometer (Corvis ST) and investigate potential differences in these …

Keratoconus is a progressive eye disorder primarily affecting individuals in adolescence and
early adulthood. The ectatic changes in the cornea cause thinning and cone-like steepening …
