几种屈光和治疗性治疗以及几种眼部或全身性疾病可能会引起角膜机械阻力的变化。此外，最常用的临床工具之一的眼内压测量也高度依赖于该特性。角膜的生物力学特性现在可以在临床环境中用不同的仪器测量。在目前的工作中，我们回顾了角膜的生物力学性质在眼科学和视觉科学的不同领域中的潜在作用，根据物质的基本性质的定义和从不同的仪器获得的结果。迄今为止发表的文献提供了一个深入了解角膜机械性能如何改变在不同的视力威胁的眼部条件下，不同的手术程序后。随着几种新的技术被应用于角膜生物力学特性的分析，这一领域的未来是非常有希望的。
Several refractive and therapeutic treatments as well as several ocular or systemic diseases might induce changes in the mechanical resistance of the cornea. Furthermore, intraocular pressure measurement, one of the most used clinical tools, is also highly dependent on this characteristic. Corneal biomechanical properties can be measured now in the clinical setting with different instruments. In the present work, we review the potential role of the biomechanical properties of the cornea in different fields of ophthalmology and visual science in light of the definitions of the fundamental properties of matter and the results obtained from the different instruments available. The body of literature published so far provides an insight into how the corneal mechanical properties change in different sight-threatening ocular conditions and after different surgical procedures. The future in this field is very promising with several new technologies being applied to the analysis of the corneal biomechanical properties.
