The primary function of biomechanical measurements is to improve safety and doctors can readily use these metrics in clinical practice today through the use of proxies, said William J. Dupps, MD.
"Readily-measured variables that share some relationship to a biomechanical property of interest include central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal topography, or 'warpability', residual stromal thickness (RST) and time, which is useful to measure warpage recovery time," said Dr Dupps of the Cole Eye Institute, Cleveland, USA.
