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 …

Several refractive and therapeutic treatments as well as several ocular or systemic diseases
might induce changes in the mechanical resistance of the cornea. Furthermore, intraocular …

Interest in corneal biomechanics has increased with the development of new refractive
surgery techniques aimed at modifying corneal properties and a variety of surgical options …

The purpose of this study is to develop a 3D patient-specific finite element model (FEM) of
the cornea and sclera to compare predicted and in vivo refractive outcomes and to estimate …

PURPOSE: To compare the corneal biomechanical properties in eyes of patients with
diabetes mellitus and in those of subjects without diabetes mellitus. SETTING: Hospital eye …

Purpose: Laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and small-
incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) are safe and effective refractive surgical procedures …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of femtosecond-assisted wavefront-guided
laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) as well as higher-order aberrometric changes in a …

Purpose To analyze the early results of a new device measuring ocular biomechanics after
corneal refractive surgery. Patients and methods Thirty nine refractive surgery patients were …

Purpose To evaluate the safety of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) combined with laser
in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Setting Shinagawa LASIK Center, Tokyo, Japan. Design …

Purpose To analyze changes in new biomechanical descriptors with myopic femtosecond
laser–assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), compare them with the biomechanical …
