In a few cases, it can be refractory or steroid dependent, hindering treatment. Case Report: A healthy 12-year-old dark skin female without prior ocular or systemic disease presented in our department with a ...
Dynamic corneal deformation response and integrated corneal tomography
Salomão, Marcella Q.; Hofling-Lima, Ana Luisa; Faria-Correia, Fernando; Lopes, Bernardo Teixeira; Rodrigues-Barros, Sandra; Roberts, Cynthia J.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.
