Corneal blindness is a major cause of vision loss, estimated to affect over 10 million people
worldwide. Once impaired through clouding or shape change, the best treatment option for …

The evaluation of the corneal biomechanical behaviour has important clinical applications.
To name a few, the accuracy of the intraocular pressure measurement, the study of corneal …

Allogenic transplants of the cornea are prone to rejection, especially in repetitive
transplantation and in scarred or highly vascularized recipient sites. Patients with these …

Purpose: To evaluate the regional effects of different corneal cross-linking (CXL) protocols
on corneal biomechanical properties. Methods: The study involved both eyes of 50 rabbits …

Alterations in the structure and composition of Bruch's membrane (BrM) and loss of retinal
pigment epithelial (RPE) cells are associated with various ocular diseases, notably age …

In this study, a macro-indentation test on the submillimeter scale was performed to analyze
the indentation behavior of an intact cornea under physiological pressures. The Hertz and …

Despite significant advancements in hydrogels in recent years, their application in corneal
repair remains limited by several challenges, including unfitted curvatures, inferior …

Corneal disease seriously threatens the quality of human vision and even causes blindness,
but the shortage of corneal donors is insufficient to meet the demand for corneal …

Abstract Characterization of structure-related variation in corneal biomechanical properties
is important for the design of corneal implants with a controllable degradation. In the current …

Purpose: Keratoconus leads to visual deterioration due to irregular astigmatism and corneal
thinning. Riboflavin-based corneal UV-A crosslinking (CXL) induces novel intramolecular …
