Influence of Pachymetry and Intraocular Pressure on Dynamic Corneal Response Parameters in Healthy Patients

CONCLUSIONS:HC radius, inverse concave radius, DA ratio, and DefA ratio were shown to be suitable parameters to evaluate in vivo corneal biomechanics due to their independence from IOP and their correlation with pachymetry and age. The creation of normative values allows the interpretation of an abnormal examination without the need to match every case with another normal patient matched for CCT and IOP.[J Refract Surg. 2016;32(8):550 –561.]
