A clinical method for estimating the modulus of elasticity of the human cornea in vivo

To develop a method, using current clinical instrumentation, to estimate the Young's modulus of the human cornea in vivo. Central corneal curvature (CCC), central corneal thickness(CCT), intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured with the Goldmann tonometer (IOPG) and the Pascal Dynamic Corneal To...
