Biomechanical Corneal Parameters in Eyes With Chronic Ocular Hypotony and in Non-Hypotonic Eyes. Self-Controlled Case Series Study
Chronic hypotonic eyes (eyes with a low intraocular pressure) present biomechanical corneal changes with respect to non-hypotonic eyes, mainly in deformation amplitude ratio, stiffness parameter at first applanation, stress-strain index and Ambrósio's relational thickness parameters. These biomechanical corneal changes could reflect softer, more elastic and deformable scleras, which at its turn can bear higher risk of hypotony maculopathy.
