Biomechanical Instrumentation in Refractive Surgery
Fig. 6.1 Loading condition for tonometry Several years ago, the tonometry has been reviewed due to some difficulties detected on its fundamentals: design of the equipment, theory behind its development,…
Biomechanics of Incisional Surgery
Fig. 3.1 The dioptric plot is color-coded so that steep and flat areas on the cornea can be easily visualized. An eye with irregular astigmatism is shown The corneal structural…
Biomechanics of Subtractive Surgery: From ALK to LASIK
Fig. 4.1 Individual lamella showing orientation of the collagen fibrils We then postulate that a strain energy density W for an individual lamella takes the form [4] where C is…
Biomechanics of Additive Surgery: Intracorneal Rings
Fig. 5.1 First patient operated with the Ferrara ring (postkeratoplasty high astigmatism) The excellent tolerance to the implant by the transplanted cornea gave us the necessary confidence to apply the…
