A novel corneal indentation device for comparison of corneal tangent modulus before and after FS-LASIK in vivo.

Background: Corneal refractive laser surgery is widely used to correct myopia and astigmatism due to its safety and effectiveness. However, postoperative changes in corneal biomechanics, such as corneal ectasia, can occur, necessitating a deeper understanding of these changes. Finite Element Analysis has shown promise in predicting surgical outcomes based on corneal biomechanics.
