Corneal Stress Distribution Using the Procedure of Goldmann Applanation Tonometry, as Tested on a Human Cornea Model

The changes and distribution of corneal stress when a GAT procedure is performed support the idea that variations in corneal thickness and stiffness induce changes in corneal biomechanics that may be relevant for IOP readings. These findings are relevant for assessing IOP in corneas that have undergone surgical procedures or have diseases that alter their layers.
