| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this project is to clarify the effect of ocular biomechanics on the progression of the glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Corneal hysteresis obtained by Ocular Response Analyzer is related to the ocular biomechanical parameter with Corvis ST. The progression speed of glaucomatous damage is related to the parameters by Corvis ST. Adding the Corneal hysteresis to Corvis parameters can enhance the prediction ability of glaucomatous damage progression.
