Dynamic corneal deformation response and integrated corneal tomography

Indian J Ophthalmol. 2018 Mar;66(3):373-382. doi: 10.4103/ijo.IJO_831_17.

Abstract

Measuring corneal biomechanical properties is still challenging. There are several clinical applications for biomechanical measurements, including the detection of mild or early forms of ectatic corneal diseases. This article reviews clinical applications for biomechanical measurements provided by the Corvis ST dynamic non contact tonometer.

Keywords: Corneal biomechanics; corneal tomography; ectasia; keratoconus.
