In Vivo Corneal Biomechanical Properties with Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology in Chinese Population

Deformation process observed using CorVis ST. (a) The recording starts with the cornea in a natural convex shape. (b) A precisely metered air pulse forces the cornea to move inward through an applanation (1st applanation). (c) The cornea then continues to move inward until it reaches the highest concavity. (d) The cornea rebounds to its normal convex shape. During this phase, the cornea again passes through an applanation (2nd applanation).
