Abstract:

Biomechanical properties of the cornea are important for the functioning of the ocular optical system. They affect such qualities of the system as correct diffraction and resistance to different external action. Keratorefractive surgery widely used in clinical practice nowadays significantly upsets corneal biomechanics, which introduces a margin of error for IOP measurements done by different methods. The article reviews literature devoted to the problem of changes of corneal biomechanical properties after refractive surgeries.

Keywords:

corneal biomechanical properties
refractive surgery
LASIK
