Biomechanics is the study of the relationship between forces and function in living
organisms and is thought to play a critical role in a significant number of ophthalmic …

PURPOSE: Computational analyses were performed to quantify and directly compare the
biomechanical impact of flapless and flap-based procedures in a series of patients …

Methods: Preoperative and 3-month post-LASIK tomographic data from 20 eyes of 12
patients who underwent wavefront-optimized LASIK for myopia were obtained …

Purpose: To report a novel application of toric topographically customized transepithelial
collagen cross-linking (CXL) aiming to achieve refractive astigmatic changes in a …

Purpose To test the hypothesis that spatially selective corneal stromal stiffening can alter
corneal astigmatism and assess the effects of treatment orientation, pattern, and material …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the performance of different customized corneal cross-linking (CXL)
methods. METHODS: This was a single-center interventional, prospective, longitudinal case …

To describe the historical evolution of the role of lasers in effecting therapeutic changes in
the four acellular membranes of the eye. Over the past 50 years, iterative developments …

Purpose: To investigate biomechanical strain as a structural susceptibility metric for corneal
ectasia in a large-scale computational trial. Methods: A finite element modeling study was …

Corneal crosslinking has been well-described for the treatment of progressive corneal
ectasias. Although the goal of treatment in these conditions is the decrease in the risk of …

PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy of interferometry for examining the spatial changes to
the corneal biomechanical response to simulated intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations that …
