Abstract:Background: The aim of this study was to assess stress-strain index (SSI) and corneal biomechanical parameters in eyes with granular corneal dystrophy (GCD). Methods: This case-control study included 12 eyes of 12 patients with GCD (mean age 45.2 ± 18.7 years) and 20 eyes of 20 healthy individuals (mean age 54.4 ± 3.8 years). In addition to SSI, dynamic corneal response (DCR) parameters were assessed at the first and second applanation, including length (AL1, AL2), velocity (AV1, AV2), time (AT1, AT2), and def… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
