Exploring the Biomechanical Properties of the Human Cornea In Vivo Based on Corvis ST

Purpose: The aim of this study was to provide a method to determine corneal nonlinear viscoelastic properties based on the output data of corneal visualization Scheimpflug technology (Corvis ST).Methods: The Corvis ST data from 18 eyes of 12 healthy humans were collected. Based on the air-puff press...
