[Unveiling the pivotal role of corneal biomechanical parameters in glaucoma diagnosis and therapy].

Abstract

Glaucoma stands as the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally, yet its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. With the advancements in biomechanical detection technologies, in-vivo biomechanical research on the eyeball has become feasible. An increasing number of researchers have turned their attention to the intricate relationship between the biomechanical properties of the cornea and the onset and progression of glaucoma. This article delves into four crucial aspects: grasping the concepts and detection techniques of corneal biomechanics, exploring the correlation between corneal biomechanics and glaucoma, investigating the influencing factors of corneal biomechanics in glaucoma cases, and understanding the application of corneal biomechanics-corrected intraocular pressure in glaucoma diagnosis and treatment. It emphasizes the need to comprehensively recognize the reference value of corneal biomechanical parameters in glaucoma diagnosis and treatment. The authors aim to collaborate with fellow ophthalmologists in related research, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the diagnostic and therapeutic standards for glaucoma.
