Corneal Biomechanical Changes in Patients with Inherited Retinal Diseases.

Article Synopsis
- Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) can lead to vision loss and may also affect the eye’s front segment; this study investigates how these conditions relate to corneal health and biomechanics.
- The research involved 154 eyes from 77 IRD patients compared to the same number from healthy controls, assessing measurements like corneal thickness and stiffness.
- Results indicated that IRD patients have softer corneas, increasing their risk for conditions like corneal ectasia and glaucoma, suggesting that corneal evaluations could help in identifying other causes of vision loss in these patients.
Purpose: To perform a multimodal assessment of refractive outcomes and quality of vision (QoV) in patients with high myopia submitted to multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Methods: Retrospective study that included consecutive eyes with high myopia (axial length [AL] >26.00mm) submitted to multifocal IOL implantation between January 2014 and February 2020.
