Abstract
The development of new devices for the detection of keratoconus has improved our understanding of this corneal disease. Since the first description of corneal biomechanics, the development of devices capable of measuring this feature has gained much interest, and these have been employed to detect several conditions, such as early changes in keratoconus. Currently, a small number of air-puff–based devices capable of evaluating corneal biomechanics are commercially available. However, other promising tools that use alternative approaches to measure these characteristics, such as Brillouin microscopy and optic coherence tomography elastography, are under development. Moreover, the combination of corneal biomechanics assessment with other technologies, such as Scheimpflug tomography, is promising for the improvement of screening and early detection of keratoconus that may help to implement timely treatments to halt the progression of the disease.
