New Light-Based technique reveals corneal strength in real time

This study uses a special light-based technique called Brillouin microscopy to measure the stiffness of the cornea in people with keratoconus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges. Researchers will compare measurements before and after treatments like corneal cross-linking or refractive surgery. The goal is to better understand how these procedures affect corneal strength, not to directly treat the disease.
