Corneal biomechanics in asymmetrical normal-tension glaucoma
PURPOSE We aimed to assess corneal biomechanics using the ocular response analyzer in patients with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG), and to evaluate the relationship between corneal biomechanics and visual field loss. METHODS This was a prospective observational case series including patients with bilateral asymmetric NTG. For all patients, corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CR...
متن کاملComparison of Central Corneal Thickness Measured through Pentacam, OCTCasia2, and Orbscan IIz in Normal Individuals
Purpose: To compare the central corneal thickness measured through Pentacam, OCTCasia2, and Orbscan IIz in normal individuals. Methods: In this cross sectional comparative study, the researcher investigated the eyes of 70 normal candidates (140 eyes) with the mean age of 31.42 ± 7.70, referring to Dr. Sedaghat eye clinic for refractive surgery. For each person, Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) w...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Corneal Biomechanics and Corneal Shape in Normal Myopic Eyes
Introduction In a broad review, evidence that the corneal biomechanical properties influence the results and outcomes of various ocular measurements and procedures has existed for some time [1,2]. However, assessing the biomechanical properties of corneal tissue in vivo has previously not been possible. With the recent introduction of the Reichert Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA), direct clinical...
متن کاملSmoking and corneal biomechanics.
Dear Editor: Changes in the biomechanical properties of the human cornea play an important role in the pathogenesis of corneal dystrophies such as pellucid marginal corneal degeneration and keratoconus. The latter primarily affects young people and is a leading cause of severe visual impairment. Keratoconus is characterized by weakened corneal biomechanics that leads to progressive bulging and ...
متن کاملCorneal biomechanics - a review.
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 corneal ectasia and related pathologies. This review addresses the molecular origin of biomechanical properties, models for their description, methods for their characterisation, techniques for their modification,...
