Smoking 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 کاملIntraoperative corneal thickness change and clinical outcomes after corneal collagen crosslinking: Standard crosslinking versus hypotonic riboflavin.
PURPOSE To determine intraoperative changes in corneal thickness and outcomes of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) using 2 intraoperative regimens: riboflavin-dextran or hypotonic riboflavin. SETTING Cornea and refractive surgery practice, Teaneck, New Jersey, USA. DESIGN Prospective randomized case series. METHODS Eyes with keratoconus or corneal ectasia were treated. All eyes received...
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,...
متن کاملComplication and failure rates after corneal crosslinking.
PURPOSE To evaluate the complication rate of corneal crosslinking (CXL) for primary keratectasia and to develop recommendations for avoiding complications. SETTING Institut für Refraktive und Ophthalmo-Chirurgie, Zurich, Switzerland. METHODS In a prospective study, eyes with verified progressive keratectasia had standard CXL. Preoperative and 6- and 12-month postoperative examinations inclu...
