Abstract:Background
Keratoconus is characterized by asymmetry in the biomechanical properties of the cornea, with focal weakness in the area of cone formation. We tested the hypothesis that centrally-measured biomechanical parameters differ between corneas with peripheral cones and corneas with central cones.
Methods
Fifty participants with keratoconus were prospectively recruited. The mean ± standard deviation age was 38 ± 13 years. Axial and tangential co… Show more
