  3. Introduction • Biomechanical Properties of Cornea • Hysteresis • A property of physical systems that do not instantly follow the forces applied to them, but react slowly, or do not return completely to theior original state • Etymology: ‘ late, fall short’ in ancient Greek • Corneal Hysteresis (CH) • The the difference betweenthe inward (P1) and outward (P2) pressure valuesobtained during the dynamic bi-directional applanation process employed in the Ocular Response Analyzer, as a result of viscous damping in the cornea. • P1 – P2 • Corneal Resistance Factor (CRF) • the overall resistance of the cornea, including both the viscous and elastic properties (total visco-elasticity) • P1 – 0.7 x P2

  4. Ocular Response Analyzer

  5. Introduction • Biomechanical Properties of Cornea • Corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc) • Less affected by corneal properties than other tonometry • P2 – 0.43 x P1 • Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure(IOPg) • the overall resistance of the cornea, including both the viscous and elastic properties (total visco-elasticity) • P1 – 0.7 x P2 • Previous Studies • Normal Value of CH, CRF • CH = 10.8 ±1.5 mmHg, CRF = 11.0 ±1.6 mmHg (n=165) • (Ortiz et al. IOVS 2007) • CH = 10.9 ±1.6 mmHg, CRF = 11.0 ±1.6 (n=70) • (Kirwan et al. Ophthalmologica 2008) • Keratoconus, Post-LASIK • CH and CRF ⇒low • (Shah et al. IOVS 2007, Pepose et al. AJO 2007, • Susan et al. BJO 2008, Kerautret et al. JCRS 2008)

  6. Purpose • To assess the correlation between corneal biomechanical properties such as corneal hysteresis(CH) or corneal resistance factor(CRF) measured by the Ocular Response Analyzer(ORA) and topographic parametersmeasured with ORB scan

  7. Methods • Subjects • Period of data collection • June 1, 2008 – September 31, 2008 • Outpatient clinic, Seoul National University Hospital • Inclusion criteria • Subjects who met keratoconus index • Control group • Age and sex-matched normal eyes Modified Rabinowits Keratoconus Index • Parameters • Ocular Response Analyzer • Corneal hysteresis(CH), corneal resistance factor(CRF), corneal-compensated IOP(IOPcc), Goldmann-correlated IOP(IOPg) • ORB scan • Central curvature, I-S 3mm, I-S 6mm, SimK Max, SimK min, Simk astig, 3mm irregular astig, 5mm irregular astig, CCT

  8. Results 1. Subject Characteristics Fisher’s exact test; Mann-Whitney U test 2. ORA between KC and Control CH, CRF IOP

  9. Results 3. . Correlation Analysis in KC CH – CRF CH / CRF 2. ORA between KC and Control CH, CRF Spearman’s correlation coefficient

  10. Results 3. . Correlation Analysis in KC IOPcc-IOPg IOPcc/IOPg Spearman’s correlation coefficient

  11. Discussion • Corneal biomechanical changes in keratoconus • B oth CH and CRF in keratoconus ⇒ lo w er than normal control • CRF decreased more than CH. • As corneal thicknessdecreases, biomechanical stability decreases • Combined parameters in keratoconus • IOPcc-g and IOPcc/g • IOPcc = IOPg + Corneal factor • ⇒Corneal factor = IOPcc - IOPg • If IOPcc-gorIOPcc/gis high, there is corneal biomechanical change morethan normal condition. • GAT can be underestimated in keratoconus. • Correlation Analysis with ORB Scan • CH-CRF, CH/CRF • CCT w as negatively correlated • As w ell as CCT, simK value and irregular astigmatism of 3mm and 5mm were also positively correlated. • IOPcc-g, IOPcc/g • Only CCT w as negatively correlated

  12. Discussion • About keratoconus suspect • Possibility to detect early keratoconus change or progression. • Limitations • Cross-sectional study • Difficult to generalize into the changein subject • Suggestions for future studies • Study to find the risk factors of post-LASIK ectasia with various ORA parameters. Conclusions • The corneal biomechanical parameters and their combined parameters measured using Ocular Response Analyzer were correlated with topographic parameters. • So there is a possibility to put the biomechanical parameters to practical use in detecting and monitor keratoconus.
