PURPOSE: To noninvasively evaluate the effects of corneal hydration and collagen crosslinking (CXL) on the mechanical behavior of the cornea.SETTING: Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.DESIGN: Experimental study.METHODS: An optical coherence elastography (OCE) technique was used to measure the displacement behavior of 5 pairs of debrided human donor globes in 3 serial states as follows: edematous, normal thickness, and after riboflavin ultraviolet-A mediated CXL. During micromotor-controlled axial displacements with a curved goniolens at physiologic intraocular pressure (IOP), serial optical coherence tomography scans were obtained to allow high-resolution intrastromal speckle tracking and displacement measurements over the central 4.0 mm of the cornea.RESULTS: With no imposed increase in IOP, the mean lateral to imposed axial displacement ratios were 0.035 mu m/mu m +/- 0.037 (SD) in edematous corneas, 0.021 +/- 0.02 mu m/mu m in normal thickness corneas, and 0.014 +/- 0.009 mu m/mu m in post-CXL corneas. The differences were statistically significant (P
