Short-term digital ocular massage may weaken corneal biomechanics
Short-term digital ocular massage results in a temporary reduction in bIOP. The observed changes, including shorter A2T, higher A2V, larger PeakDist, and greater DA and DefleA indicated a greater corneal deformability after ocular massage. These findings support the potential association between eye rubbing and the etiology or progression of keratoconus.
