Corneal biomechanical properties were calculated by ORA. Central corneal thickness (CCT) was measured by anterior-segment optical coherence tomography. The main outcome measures were corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc), and Goldmann-correlated IOP (IOPg). For dry-eye evaluation, Schirmer’s test was used.Results: Mean CH in the psoriasis group was 10.20± 1.55 mmHg and in the control group 10.66± 1.36 mmHg (p=0.215). Mean CRF in the psoriasis group was 9.76± 1.60 mmHg and in the control group 10.97± 1.42 mmHg (p=0.003). Mean IOPcc in the psoriasis group was 14.84± 3.43 mmHg and in the control group 16.67± 3.17 mmHg (p=0.035). Mean IOPg in the psoriasis group was 13.92± 3.35 mmHg and in the control group 16.62± 3.10 mmHg (p=0.002). Mean CCT in the psoriasis group was 543.90± 37.27 μm and in the control group 551.23± 28.63 μm (p=0.392). Schirmer’s test results in the psoriasis group were 11.4± 1.57 mm/5 min and in the control group 17.5± 1.52 mm/5 min (p< 0.001).Conclusion: Psoriasis affects corneal biomechanical properties with statistically significantly lower corneal biomechanics than normal. CH correlates negatively with disease activity. These corneal biomechanical changes should be considered when determining IOP values and during corneal evaluation for keratoconus-suspected patients.Keywords: psoriasis, corneal hysteresis, corneal resistance factor, corneal-compensated intraocular pressure, ocular response analyzerEdris NAArfeen SAMosaad RNassar GADove Medical Pressarticlepsoriasis – corneal hysteresis – corneal resistance factor – corneal compensated intraocular pressure – ocular response analyzerOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 1833-1837 (2020)
