Abstract:
Cornea is a very important component of the human eyeball wall.It maintains the physiological structure of eyeball and provides protection for eye content and it is an important part of refractive media.As human inhomogeneous viscoelastic material, the cornea possesses many biomechanical properties such as the elastic, viscosity and non linear elastic.Currently, ocular response an-alyzer and corneal visualization scheimpflug technology are often used in vivo measurement and analysis to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of clinical diseases such as keratoconus, and to assess the feasibility and prognosis of refractive surgery.The latest progress of corneal biomechanical measurement and its clinical application are reviewed in this paper.
