Summary

This study tests a new imaging technique called Brillouin microscopy to see if it can diagnose keratoconus and other corneal thinning conditions. Researchers will scan the corneas of healthy volunteers and patients with these diseases to compare tissue stiffness. The goal is to develop a non-invasive diagnostic tool that could detect problems earlier than current methods.
