Analysis of Corneal Biomechanical Properties in Different Keratotopographic Patterns of Keratoconus.

Purpose: To analyze the frequency of main keratotopographic patterns at the 1, 2, and 3 stages of keratoconus and investigate corneal biomechanical properties across different patterns.

Methods: The study comprised two stages. The first stage was computational-experimental, where we utilized COMSOL Multiphysics® software (COMSOL AB, Stockholm, Sweden) to mathematically model corneal mechanical behavior under intraocular pressure and pulsed air jet action in both normal and keratoconic conditions.
