DOI: 10.1007/s10792-019-01156-y
Abstract: Purpose Keratoconus is an ectatic eye disease characterized by progressive thinning and steepening of the cornea which leads to irregular astigmatism and visual function loss. Determination of choroidal thickness in keratoconus patients may help us… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2019.04.019
Abstract: BACKGROUND The Corvis ST provides measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP) and a biomechanically-corrected IOP (bIOP). IOP influences corneal deflection amplitude (DA), which may affect the diagnosis of keratoconus. Compensating for IOP in DA values may… read more here.
