Summary

This study is developing imaging and computer simulation tools to predict how a person's cornea (the clear front part of the eye) will change after treatments like crosslinking for keratoconus or LASIK for vision correction. Researchers will take detailed images of the eyes of 60 participants—some with keratoconus and some scheduled for LASIK—to measure the cornea's mechanical properties. They will then use these measurements to create computer models that predict the cornea's shape after treatment, comparing the predictions to actual results to see how accurate they are.
